§ The result

Both filed under ATS-integrated, HiBob and Ceipal come out 46 and 35 under rubric v1.0, 11 points in favour of HiBob. Ceipal is ahead on none of the 7 criteria: HiBob takes 6, the remaining criterion is level, and the nearest of those 6 is Customer Documentation, Ceipal 53 to HiBob 61. Article 11 Technical Documentation is both the widest raw gap and the heaviest weighted swing — Ceipal 30, HiBob 55 — and at a 20% weight it carries 42% of the weighted advantage HiBob holds across the 6 criteria on that side of the table.

Weighted delta is the raw difference times the criterion weight, so the 6 figures above sum to -11.9 — the difference between the two totals before either is rounded. Shares are of 11.9 points of movement counted without direction. The table below rounds each side to a whole number first, so its Δ raw total reads -11 beside that -11.9.

§ 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.
