§ The result
Crosschq takes the total, HiBob takes more of the criteria.
Crosschq holds a 1-point edge over HiBob under rubric v1.0, 47 to 46, across the Screening and ATS-integrated cohorts. HiBob leads more of the criteria, 4 against 3 for Crosschq, yet Crosschq 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 — Crosschq 38, HiBob 20 — and at an 18% weight it carries 93% of the weighted advantage Crosschq holds across the 3 criteria on that side of the table.

Weighted delta is the raw difference times the criterion weight, so the 7 figures above sum to +0.8 — the difference between the two totals before either is rounded. Shares are of 6.2 points of movement counted without direction. The table below rounds each side to a whole number first, so its Δ raw total reads +1 beside that +0.8.

§ 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.
