§ The result
HiredScore takes the total, ClearCo (ClearCompany) takes more of the criteria.
Under rubric v1.0, HiredScore, filed under Sourcing, finishes on 52 and ClearCo (ClearCompany), filed under ATS-integrated, on 46, 6 points apart. ClearCo (ClearCompany) leads more of the criteria, 3 against 2 for HiredScore, yet HiredScore takes Bias Audit Transparency, which carries 18% of the rubric, and the weighted sum with it. Bias Audit Transparency is both the widest raw gap and the heaviest weighted swing — ClearCo (ClearCompany) 28, HiredScore 55 — and at an 18% weight it carries 73% of the weighted advantage HiredScore holds across the 2 criteria on that side of the table.

Weighted delta is the raw difference times the criterion weight, so the 5 figures above sum to -5.8 — the difference between the two totals before either is rounded. Shares are of 7.6 points of movement counted without direction. The table below rounds each side to a whole number first, so its Δ raw total reads -6 beside that -5.8.

§ 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.
