§ The result
Recruit CRM leads Emi on all 7 criteria.
Recruit CRM scores 40 and Emi 33 under rubric v1.0, a 7-point gap across the ATS-integrated and Screening cohorts. Recruit CRM is ahead of Emi on all 7 criteria but on none of them by as much as 20 raw points, the closest being Bias Audit Transparency at Emi 18 to Recruit CRM 20. The advantage Recruit CRM holds is spread out: Human Oversight Design is both the widest raw gap and the heaviest weighted swing (Emi 44, Recruit CRM 58, 12% weight), yet it supplies only 21% of the weighted points Recruit CRM gains across the 7 criteria it leads.

Weighted delta is the raw difference times the criterion weight, so the 7 figures above sum to -7.9 — the difference between the two totals before either is rounded. Shares are of 7.9 points of movement counted without direction. The table below rounds each side to a whole number first, so its Δ raw total reads -7 beside that -7.9.

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.
