§ The result
Fuel50 leads HiredScore on all 7 criteria.
Fuel50 scores 58 and HiredScore 52 under rubric v1.0 — a 6-point gap inside the Sourcing cohort. Fuel50 is ahead of HiredScore on all 7 criteria but on none of them by as much as 20 raw points, the closest being Human Oversight Design at Fuel50 61 to HiredScore 60. One criterion, Bias Audit Transparency, is both the widest raw gap (Fuel50 68, HiredScore 55) and the heaviest weighted swing, and at 18% weight it makes up 40% of the weighted advantage Fuel50 holds across the 7 criteria it leads.

Weighted delta is the raw difference times the criterion weight, so the 7 figures above sum to +5.9 — the difference between the two totals before either is rounded. Shares are of 5.9 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 +5.9.

§ 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.
