§ The result
Dayforce leads HiredScore by 5 points.
Dayforce scores 57 and HiredScore 52 under rubric v1.0, a 5-point gap across the ATS-integrated and Sourcing cohorts. Dayforce leads 6 of the 7 criteria, including Article 11 Technical Documentation, while HiredScore leads 1, including Bias Audit Transparency. Bias Audit Transparency is at once the widest raw gap and the heaviest weighted swing, and it belongs to HiredScore — Dayforce 42, HiredScore 55, on an 18% weight — which is 100% of the weighted advantage HiredScore 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 +5.4 — the difference between the two totals before either is rounded. Shares are of 10.0 points of movement counted without direction. The table below rounds each side to a whole number first, so its Δ raw total reads +5 beside that +5.4.

§ 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.
