Gem scores 55 and isolved 47 under rubric v1.0, an 8-point gap across the Sourcing and ATS-integrated cohorts. Gem leads 6 of the 7 criteria and the remaining criterion is level, so isolved is ahead on none of them; the closest of the 6 Gem leads is Data Governance Disclosure, Gem 57 to isolved 53. One criterion, Bias Audit Transparency, is both the widest raw gap (Gem 66, isolved 45) and the heaviest weighted swing, and at 18% weight it makes up 48% of the weighted advantage Gem holds across the 6 criteria it leads.

Weighted delta is the raw difference times the criterion weight, so the 6 figures above sum to +7.9 — the difference between the two totals before either is rounded. Shares are of 7.9 points of movement counted without direction. The table below rounds each side to a whole number first, so its Δ raw total reads +8 beside that +7.9.

§ 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.
