Assessment
The result
Greenhouse leads HiringBranch on 6 of the 7 criteria.
Under rubric v1.0, Greenhouse (ATS-integrated) opens a 15-point lead on HiringBranch (Assessment), 67 (D) to 52 (F). HiringBranch is ahead on none of the 7 criteria: Greenhouse takes 6, the remaining criterion is level, and the nearest of those 6 is FRIA Support, Greenhouse 42 to HiringBranch 35. The advantage Greenhouse holds is spread out: Bias Audit Transparency is both the widest raw gap and the heaviest weighted swing (Greenhouse 86, HiringBranch 60, 18% weight), yet it supplies only 32% of the weighted points Greenhouse gains across the 6 criteria it leads.

Weighted delta is the raw difference times the criterion weight, so the 6 figures above sum to +14.5 — the difference between the two totals before either is rounded. Shares are of 14.5 points of movement counted without direction. The table below rounds each side to a whole number first, so its Δ raw total reads +15 beside that +14.5.

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.
