§ The result
Gem takes the total, Indeed takes more of the criteria.
Gem scores 55 and Indeed 50 under rubric v1.0 — a 5-point gap inside the Sourcing cohort. Indeed leads more of the criteria, 4 against 2 for Gem, yet Gem takes Bias Audit Transparency, which carries 18% of the rubric, and the weighted sum with it. Bias Audit Transparency is both the widest raw gap and the heaviest weighted swing — Gem 66, Indeed 38 — and at an 18% weight it carries 86% of the weighted advantage Gem 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 +4.9 — the difference between the two totals before either is rounded. Shares are of 6.9 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 +4.9.

§ 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.
