§ The result
Indeed leads Fetcher on all 7 criteria.
Rubric v1.0 scores the Sourcing entries Indeed and Fetcher at 50 and 37, a gap of 13 points. Of the 7 criteria Fetcher wins none, and the narrowest lead Indeed holds is on Data Governance Disclosure, Fetcher 55 to Indeed 58. Article 11 Technical Documentation is both the widest raw gap and the heaviest weighted swing — Fetcher 27, Indeed 58 — and at a 20% weight it carries 48% of the weighted advantage Indeed 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 -13.0 — the difference between the two totals before either is rounded. Shares are of 13.0 points of movement counted without direction. The table below rounds each side to a whole number first, so its Δ raw total reads -13 beside that -13.0.

§ 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.
