§ The result
hireEZ leads Ceipal on 5 of the 7 criteria.
hireEZ scores 42 and Ceipal 35 under rubric v1.0, a 7-point gap across the Sourcing and ATS-integrated cohorts. hireEZ leads 5 of the 7 criteria and the remaining 2 are level, so Ceipal is ahead on none of them; the closest of the 5 hireEZ leads is Customer Documentation, Ceipal 53 to hireEZ 58. Data Governance Disclosure is the widest raw gap and the heaviest weighted swing at once (Ceipal 46, hireEZ 60, 15% weight), but it accounts for only 29% of the weighted advantage hireEZ holds across the 5 criteria on that side of the table.

Weighted delta is the raw difference times the criterion weight, so the 5 figures above sum to -7.3 — the difference between the two totals before either is rounded. Shares are of 7.3 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 -7.3.

§ 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.
