§ The result
1 point separates Cegid and UKG.
Under rubric v1.0, Cegid and UKG finish 1 point apart, 45 to 44, as two ATS-integrated entries. UKG takes 2 of the 7 criteria, FRIA Support among them, against 4 for Cegid, whose share includes Customer Documentation, and 1 is level. The advantage Cegid holds is spread out: Customer Documentation is both the widest raw gap and the heaviest weighted swing (Cegid 62, UKG 55, 8% weight), yet it supplies only 36% of the weighted points Cegid gains across the 4 criteria it leads.

Weighted delta is the raw difference times the criterion weight, so the 6 figures above sum to +1.0 — the difference between the two totals before either is rounded. Shares are of 2.2 points of movement counted without direction. The table below rounds each side to a whole number first, so its Δ raw total reads +1 beside that +1.0.

§ 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.
