§ The result
eSkill takes the total, Recruit CRM takes more of the criteria.
eSkill (Assessment) edges Recruit CRM (ATS-integrated) by 1 point under rubric v1.0, 41 to 40. Recruit CRM leads more of the criteria than eSkill — 5 to 2 — but Article 11 Technical Documentation, which eSkill leads, carries 20% of the rubric, and the weighted sum still falls to eSkill. One criterion, Article 11 Technical Documentation, is both the widest raw gap (eSkill 48, Recruit CRM 34) and the heaviest weighted swing, and at 20% weight it makes up 76% of the weighted advantage eSkill holds across the 2 criteria it leads.

0.1 weighted points to Recruit CRM
Weighted delta is the raw difference times the criterion weight, so the 7 figures above sum to +0.9 — the difference between the two totals before either is rounded. Shares are of 6.5 points of movement counted without direction. The table below rounds each side to a whole number first, so its Δ raw total reads +1 beside that +0.9.

§ 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.
