§ The result
Greenhouse leads SHL on all 7 criteria.
Greenhouse finishes 16 points clear of SHL under rubric v1.0 — 67 (D) against 51 (F) — across the ATS-integrated and Assessment cohorts. Greenhouse leads every one of the 7 criteria, SHL none of them, and the closest of the 7 is Customer Documentation, Greenhouse 64 to SHL 60. Bias Audit Transparency is both the widest raw gap and the heaviest weighted swing — Greenhouse 86, SHL 50 — and at an 18% weight it carries 40% of the weighted advantage Greenhouse holds across the 7 criteria on that side of the table.

Weighted delta is the raw difference times the criterion weight, so the 7 figures above sum to +16.2 — the difference between the two totals before either is rounded. Shares are of 16.2 points of movement counted without direction. The table below rounds each side to a whole number first, so its Δ raw total reads +16 beside that +16.2.

§ 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.
