§ The result
hireEZ leads Emi on 6 of the 7 criteria.
hireEZ scores 42 and Emi 33 under rubric v1.0, a 9-point gap across the Sourcing and Screening cohorts. hireEZ leads 6 of the 7 criteria and the remaining criterion is level, so Emi is ahead on none of them; the closest of the 6 hireEZ leads is Post-Market Monitoring, Emi 35 to hireEZ 38. The advantage hireEZ holds is spread out: Data Governance Disclosure is both the widest raw gap and the heaviest weighted swing (Emi 44, hireEZ 60, 15% weight), yet it supplies only 26% of the weighted points hireEZ gains across the 6 criteria it leads.

Weighted delta is the raw difference times the criterion weight, so the 6 figures above sum to -9.4 — the difference between the two totals before either is rounded. Shares are of 9.4 points of movement counted without direction. The table below rounds each side to a whole number first, so its Δ raw total reads -9 beside that -9.4.

§ 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.
