§ The result
iCIMS leads Cegid on 6 of the 7 criteria.
Rubric v1.0 scores the ATS-integrated entries iCIMS and Cegid at 55 and 45, a gap of 10 points. iCIMS leads 6 of the 7 criteria and the remaining criterion is level, so Cegid is ahead on none of them; the closest of the 6 iCIMS leads is Data Governance Disclosure, Cegid 55 to iCIMS 56. One criterion, Bias Audit Transparency, is both the widest raw gap (Cegid 30, iCIMS 68) and the heaviest weighted swing, and at 18% weight it makes up 68% of the weighted advantage iCIMS holds across the 6 criteria it leads.

Weighted delta is the raw difference times the criterion weight, so the 6 figures above sum to -10.1 — the difference between the two totals before either is rounded. Shares are of 10.1 points of movement counted without direction. The table below rounds each side to a whole number first, so its Δ raw total reads -10 beside that -10.1.

§ 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.
