§ The result
Darwinbox takes the total, Recruit CRM takes more of the criteria.
Darwinbox scores 46 and Recruit CRM 40 under rubric v1.0 — a 6-point gap inside the ATS-integrated cohort. Recruit CRM leads more of the criteria than Darwinbox — 4 to 3 — but Article 11 Technical Documentation, which Darwinbox leads, carries 20% of the rubric, and the weighted sum still falls to Darwinbox. One criterion, Article 11 Technical Documentation, is both the widest raw gap (Darwinbox 60, Recruit CRM 34) and the heaviest weighted swing, and at 20% weight it makes up 72% of the weighted advantage Darwinbox holds across the 3 criteria it leads.

Weighted delta is the raw difference times the criterion weight, so the 7 figures above sum to +5.2 — the difference between the two totals before either is rounded. Shares are of 9.3 points of movement counted without direction. The table below rounds each side to a whole number first, so its Δ raw total reads +6 beside that +5.2.

§ 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.
