§ The result
iCIMS leads Entelo on all 7 criteria.
iCIMS finishes 22 points clear of Entelo under rubric v1.0 — 55 against 33 — across the ATS-integrated and Sourcing cohorts. iCIMS 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. Bias Audit Transparency is the widest raw gap and the heaviest weighted swing at once (Entelo 20, iCIMS 68, 18% weight), but it accounts for only 39% of the weighted advantage iCIMS holds across the 7 criteria on that side of the table.

Weighted delta is the raw difference times the criterion weight, so the 7 figures above sum to -22.4 — the difference between the two totals before either is rounded. Shares are of 22.4 points of movement counted without direction. The table below rounds each side to a whole number first, so its Δ raw total reads -22 beside that -22.4.

§ 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.
