§ The result
Greenhouse leads HiringBranch on 6 of the 7 criteria.
Greenhouse finishes 15 points clear of HiringBranch under rubric v1.0 — 67 (D) against 52 (F) — across the ATS-integrated and Assessment cohorts. Greenhouse leads 6 of the 7 criteria and the remaining criterion is level, so HiringBranch is ahead on none of them; the closest of the 6 Greenhouse leads is FRIA Support, Greenhouse 42 to HiringBranch 35. Bias Audit Transparency is the widest raw gap and the heaviest weighted swing at once (Greenhouse 86, HiringBranch 60, 18% weight), but it accounts for only 32% of the weighted advantage Greenhouse holds across the 6 criteria on that side of the table.

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.
