§ The result
4 points separate JobAdder and eSkill.
JobAdder (ATS-integrated) edges eSkill (Assessment) by 4 points under rubric v1.0, 45 to 41. eSkill takes 1 of the 7 criteria, Human Oversight Design among them, against 5 for JobAdder, whose share includes Bias Audit Transparency, and 1 is level. One criterion, Bias Audit Transparency, is both the widest raw gap (eSkill 25, JobAdder 35) and the heaviest weighted swing, and at 18% weight it makes up 40% of the weighted advantage JobAdder holds across the 5 criteria it leads.

Weighted delta is the raw difference times the criterion weight, so the 6 figures above sum to -4.2 — the difference between the two totals before either is rounded. Shares are of 4.9 points of movement counted without direction. The table below rounds each side to a whole number first, so its Δ raw total reads -4 beside that -4.2.

§ 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.
