§ The result
Findem takes the total, Dayforce takes more of the criteria.
Findem (Sourcing) edges Dayforce (ATS-integrated) by 1 point under rubric v1.0, 58 to 57. Dayforce leads more of the criteria than Findem — 6 to 1 — but Bias Audit Transparency, which Findem leads, carries 18% of the rubric, and the weighted sum still falls to Findem. Bias Audit Transparency is both the widest raw gap and the heaviest weighted swing — Dayforce 42, Findem 83 — and at an 18% weight it carries 100% of the weighted advantage Findem holds across the 1 criterion on that side of the table.

Weighted delta is the raw difference times the criterion weight, so the 7 figures above sum to -0.5 — the difference between the two totals before either is rounded. Shares are of 14.3 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 -0.5.

§ 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.
