§ The result
Findem takes the total, LinkedIn Recruiter takes more of the criteria.
Findem holds a 1-point edge over LinkedIn Recruiter under rubric v1.0, 58 to 57, with both scored in the Sourcing cohort. LinkedIn Recruiter leads more of the criteria than Findem — 5 to 1 — but Bias Audit Transparency, which Findem leads, carries 18% of the rubric, and the weighted sum still falls to Findem. One criterion, Bias Audit Transparency, is both the widest raw gap (Findem 83, LinkedIn Recruiter 50) and the heaviest weighted swing, and at 18% weight it makes up 100% of the weighted advantage Findem holds across the 1 criterion it leads.

Weighted delta is the raw difference times the criterion weight, so the 6 figures above sum to +0.9 — the difference between the two totals before either is rounded. Shares are of 11.0 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.
