§ The result
iCIMS leads Equalture on all 7 criteria.
iCIMS sits 11 points above Equalture under rubric v1.0 — 55 against 44 — with iCIMS filed under ATS-integrated and Equalture under Assessment. iCIMS leads every one of the 7 criteria, Equalture none of them, and the closest of the 7 is Data Governance Disclosure, Equalture 55 to iCIMS 56. Bias Audit Transparency is both the widest raw gap and the heaviest weighted swing — Equalture 40, iCIMS 68 — and at an 18% weight it carries 48% 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 -10.6 — the difference between the two totals before either is rounded. Shares are of 10.6 points of movement counted without direction. The table below rounds each side to a whole number first, so its Δ raw total reads -11 beside that -10.6.

§ 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.
