§ The result
Findem leads HiredScore by 6 points.
Findem scores 58 and HiredScore 52 under rubric v1.0 — a 6-point gap inside the Sourcing cohort. Findem leads 4 of the 7 criteria, including Bias Audit Transparency, while HiredScore leads 2, including Article 11 Technical Documentation, and 1 is level. Bias Audit Transparency is both the widest raw gap and the heaviest weighted swing — Findem 83, HiredScore 55 — and at an 18% weight it carries 68% of the weighted advantage Findem holds across the 4 criteria on that side of the table.

Weighted delta is the raw difference times the criterion weight, so the 6 figures above sum to +5.8 — the difference between the two totals before either is rounded. Shares are of 8.9 points of movement counted without direction. The table below rounds each side to a whole number first, so its Δ raw total reads +6 beside that +5.8.

§ 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.
