Fuel50 holds a 2-point edge over Rippling under rubric v1.0, 58 to 56, across the Sourcing and ATS-integrated cohorts. Rippling leads more of the criteria, 4 against 2 for Fuel50, yet Fuel50 takes Bias Audit Transparency, which carries 18% of the rubric, and the weighted sum with it.

Weighted delta is the raw difference times the criterion weight, so the 6 figures above sum to +1.3 — the difference between the two totals before either is rounded. Shares are of 8.3 points of movement counted without direction. The table below rounds each side to a whole number first, so its Δ raw total reads +2 beside that +1.3.

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.
