§ The result
Glider AI takes the total, Employment Hero takes more of the criteria.
Glider AI (Assessment) edges Employment Hero (Screening) by 4 points under rubric v1.0, 52 to 48. Employment Hero leads more of the criteria than Glider AI — 4 to 3 — but Bias Audit Transparency, which Glider AI leads, carries 18% of the rubric, and the weighted sum still falls to Glider AI. One criterion, Bias Audit Transparency, is both the widest raw gap (Employment Hero 35, Glider AI 68) and the heaviest weighted swing, and at 18% weight it makes up 87% of the weighted advantage Glider AI holds across the 3 criteria it leads.
