§ The result
Covey leads JobDiva on 6 of the 7 criteria.
Covey finishes 18 points clear of JobDiva under rubric v1.0 — 47 against 29 — across the Sourcing and ATS-integrated cohorts. Covey leads 6 of the 7 criteria and the remaining criterion is level, so JobDiva is ahead on none of them; the closest of the 6 Covey leads is FRIA Support, Covey 25 to JobDiva 22. One criterion, Bias Audit Transparency, is both the widest raw gap (Covey 72, JobDiva 15) and the heaviest weighted swing, and at 18% weight it makes up 57% of the weighted advantage Covey holds across the 6 criteria it leads.

Weighted delta is the raw difference times the criterion weight, so the 6 figures above sum to +17.9 — the difference between the two totals before either is rounded. Shares are of 17.9 points of movement counted without direction. The table below rounds each side to a whole number first, so its Δ raw total reads +18 beside that +17.9.

§ 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.
