§ The result
Darwinbox leads Qureos on 6 of the 7 criteria.
Darwinbox sits 13 points above Qureos under rubric v1.0 — 46 against 33 — with Darwinbox filed under ATS-integrated and Qureos under Screening. Darwinbox leads 6 of the 7 criteria and the remaining criterion is level, so Qureos is ahead on none of them; the closest of the 6 Darwinbox leads is Human Oversight Design, Darwinbox 55 to Qureos 54. One criterion, Article 11 Technical Documentation, is both the widest raw gap (Darwinbox 60, Qureos 28) and the heaviest weighted swing, and at 20% weight it makes up 51% of the weighted advantage Darwinbox holds across the 6 criteria it leads.

Weighted delta is the raw difference times the criterion weight, so the 6 figures above sum to +12.7 — the difference between the two totals before either is rounded. Shares are of 12.7 points of movement counted without direction. The table below rounds each side to a whole number first, so its Δ raw total reads +13 beside that +12.7.

§ 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.
