§ The result
1 point separates Knockri and Darwinbox.
Knockri (Video interview) edges Darwinbox (ATS-integrated) by 1 point under rubric v1.0, 47 to 46. Darwinbox and Knockri each lead 3 of the 7 criteria, with 1 level, though the side of the split Knockri holds (headed by Bias Audit Transparency) adds up to more weighted points. One criterion, Bias Audit Transparency, is both the widest raw gap (Darwinbox 28, Knockri 35) and the heaviest weighted swing, and at 18% weight it makes up 48% of the weighted advantage Knockri holds across the 3 criteria it leads.

Weighted delta is the raw difference times the criterion weight, so the 6 figures above sum to -1.0 — the difference between the two totals before either is rounded. Shares are of 4.2 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 -1.0.

§ 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.
