§ The result
2 points separate Checkr and Glider AI.
Checkr holds a 2-point edge over Glider AI under rubric v1.0, 54 to 52, across the Screening and Assessment cohorts. Glider AI takes 2 of the 7 criteria, Bias Audit Transparency among them, against 5 for Checkr, whose share includes Article 11 Technical Documentation. Bias Audit Transparency is at once the widest raw gap and the heaviest weighted swing, and it belongs to Glider AI — Checkr 35, Glider AI 68, on an 18% weight — which is 93% of the weighted advantage Glider AI holds across the 2 criteria on that side of the table.

Weighted delta is the raw difference times the criterion weight, so the 7 figures above sum to +1.6 — the difference between the two totals before either is rounded. Shares are of 14.3 points of movement counted without direction. The table below rounds each side to a whole number first, so its Δ raw total reads +2 beside that +1.6.

§ 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.
