§ The result
Classet leads HiBob by 9 points.
Classet scores 55 and HiBob 46 under rubric v1.0, a 9-point gap across the Screening and ATS-integrated cohorts. Classet and HiBob each lead 3 of the 7 criteria, with 1 level, though the side of the split Classet holds (headed by Bias Audit Transparency) adds up to more weighted points. One criterion, Bias Audit Transparency, is both the widest raw gap (Classet 76, HiBob 20) and the heaviest weighted swing, and at 18% weight it makes up 88% of the weighted advantage Classet holds across the 3 criteria it leads.

Weighted delta is the raw difference times the criterion weight, so the 6 figures above sum to +8.4 — the difference between the two totals before either is rounded. Shares are of 14.5 points of movement counted without direction. The table below rounds each side to a whole number first, so its Δ raw total reads +9 beside that +8.4.

§ 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.
