§ The result
2 points separate Darwinbox and Equalture.
Darwinbox holds a 2-point edge over Equalture under rubric v1.0, 46 to 44, across the ATS-integrated and Assessment cohorts. The criteria split evenly, 3 each to Darwinbox and Equalture, with 1 level, and the weighted points on the side Darwinbox holds, headed by Article 11 Technical Documentation, settle the total. Article 11 Technical Documentation is both the widest raw gap and the heaviest weighted swing — Darwinbox 60, Equalture 45 — and at a 20% weight it carries 74% of the weighted advantage Darwinbox holds across the 3 criteria on that side of the table.

Weighted delta is the raw difference times the criterion weight, so the 6 figures above sum to +1.3 — the difference between the two totals before either is rounded. Shares are of 6.8 points of movement counted without direction. The table below rounds each side to a whole number first, so its Δ raw total reads +2 beside that +1.3.

§ 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.
