§ The result
HiredScore leads Cegid by 7 points.
Under rubric v1.0, HiredScore, filed under Sourcing, finishes on 52 and Cegid, filed under ATS-integrated, on 45, 7 points apart. The criteria split evenly, 3 each to Cegid and HiredScore, with 1 level, and the weighted points on the side HiredScore holds, headed by Bias Audit Transparency, settle the total. Bias Audit Transparency is both the widest raw gap and the heaviest weighted swing — Cegid 30, HiredScore 55 — and at an 18% weight it carries 56% of the weighted advantage HiredScore holds across the 3 criteria on that side of the table.

Weighted delta is the raw difference times the criterion weight, so the 6 figures above sum to -7.0 — the difference between the two totals before either is rounded. Shares are of 9.2 points of movement counted without direction. The table below rounds each side to a whole number first, so its Δ raw total reads -7 beside that -7.0.

§ Evidence
Cited sources and documented absences, criterion by criterion.
An absence is a finding, not a blank: the reviewer looked for a named artefact and recorded that it is not located. Where a source sits is a fact about hosting only.
