§ The result
4 points separate Indeed and Factorial.
Indeed holds a 4-point edge over Factorial under rubric v1.0, 50 to 46, across the Sourcing and ATS-integrated cohorts. Indeed leads 6 of the 7 criteria, including Bias Audit Transparency, while Factorial leads 1, including Post-Market Monitoring. Bias Audit Transparency is both the widest raw gap and the heaviest weighted swing — Factorial 25, Indeed 38 — and at an 18% weight it carries 46% of the weighted advantage Indeed holds across the 6 criteria on that side of the table.

Weighted delta is the raw difference times the criterion weight, so the 7 figures above sum to -4.1 — the difference between the two totals before either is rounded. Shares are of 6.0 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 -4.1.

§ 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.
