§ The result
Jobma leads Fountain on all 7 criteria.
Jobma scores 49 and Fountain 44 under rubric v1.0, a 5-point gap across the Video interview and Screening cohorts. Jobma is ahead of Fountain on all 7 criteria but on none of them by as much as 20 raw points, the closest being Data Governance Disclosure at Fountain 55 to Jobma 56. Bias Audit Transparency is the widest raw gap and the heaviest weighted swing at once (Fountain 30, Jobma 40, 18% weight), but it accounts for only 34% of the weighted advantage Jobma 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 -5.2 — the difference between the two totals before either is rounded. Shares are of 5.2 points of movement counted without direction. The table below rounds each side to a whole number first, so its Δ raw total reads -5 beside that -5.2.

§ 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.
