HiringBranch leads every one of the 7 criteria and 3 of them by 20 raw points or more, Bias Audit Transparency among them; Entelo leads none.

Weighted delta is the raw difference times the criterion weight, so the 7 figures above sum to -19.9 — the difference between the two totals before either is rounded. Shares are of 19.9 points of movement counted without direction. The table below rounds each side to a whole number first, so its Δ raw total reads -19 beside that -19.9.
