§ The result
3 points separate Cegid and hireEZ.
Cegid (ATS-integrated) edges hireEZ (Sourcing) by 3 points under rubric v1.0, 45 to 42. The 7 criteria split 4 to 2 in favour of Cegid, with 1 level: Cegid is ahead on Article 11 Technical Documentation and hireEZ on Data Governance Disclosure. One criterion, Article 11 Technical Documentation, is both the widest raw gap (Cegid 50, hireEZ 38) and the heaviest weighted swing, and at 20% weight it makes up 60% of the weighted advantage Cegid holds across the 4 criteria it leads.

Weighted delta is the raw difference times the criterion weight, so the 6 figures above sum to +2.9 — the difference between the two totals before either is rounded. Shares are of 5.1 points of movement counted without direction. The table below rounds each side to a whole number first, so its Δ raw total reads +3 beside that +2.9.

§ 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.
