§ The result
Oracle Recruiting leads Darwinbox on 6 of the 7 criteria.
Under rubric v1.0, Oracle Recruiting and Darwinbox finish 3 points apart, 49 to 46, as two ATS-integrated entries. Oracle Recruiting leads 6 of the 7 criteria and the remaining criterion is level, so Darwinbox is ahead on none of them; the closest of the 6 Oracle Recruiting leads is Bias Audit Transparency, Darwinbox 28 to Oracle Recruiting 30. FRIA Support is the widest raw gap and the heaviest weighted swing at once (Darwinbox 30, Oracle Recruiting 35, 15% weight), but it accounts for only 25% of the weighted advantage Oracle Recruiting holds across the 6 criteria on that side of the table.

Weighted delta is the raw difference times the criterion weight, so the 6 figures above sum to -3.0 — the difference between the two totals before either is rounded. Shares are of 3.0 points of movement counted without direction. The table below rounds each side to a whole number first, so its Δ raw total reads -3 beside that -3.0.

§ 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.
