§ The result
CoderPad and hireEZ tie at 42.
CoderPad (Assessment) and hireEZ (Sourcing) tie at 42 under rubric v1.0, arriving there from different criteria. CoderPad leads 3 of the 7 criteria and hireEZ 3, with 1 level, yet the two totals land on the same number. One criterion, Bias Audit Transparency, is both the widest raw gap (CoderPad 20, hireEZ 30) and the heaviest weighted swing, and at 18% weight it makes up 64% of the weighted advantage hireEZ holds across the 3 criteria it leads.

Weighted delta is the raw difference times the criterion weight, so the 6 figures above sum to -0.2 — the difference between the two totals before either is rounded. Shares are of 5.4 points of movement counted without direction. The table below rounds each side to a whole number first, so its Δ raw total reads 0 beside that -0.2.

§ 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.
