§ The result
HireVue takes the total, Gem takes more of the criteria.
HireVue (Video interview) edges Gem (Sourcing) by 3 points under rubric v1.0, 58 to 55. Gem leads more of the criteria than HireVue — 4 to 2 — but Bias Audit Transparency, which HireVue leads, carries 18% of the rubric, and the weighted sum still falls to HireVue. Bias Audit Transparency is both the widest raw gap and the heaviest weighted swing — Gem 66, HireVue 80 — and at an 18% weight it carries 64% of the weighted advantage HireVue holds across the 2 criteria on that side of the table.

Weighted delta is the raw difference times the criterion weight, so the 6 figures above sum to -2.7 — the difference between the two totals before either is rounded. Shares are of 5.1 points of movement counted without direction. The table below rounds each side to a whole number first, so its Δ raw total reads -3 beside that -2.7.

§ 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.
