The result
Greenhouse leads Spark Hire on 6 of the 7 criteria.
Greenhouse sits 14 points above Spark Hire under rubric v1.0 — 67 (D) against 53 (F) — with Greenhouse filed under ATS-integrated and Spark Hire under Video interview. Greenhouse leads 6 of the 7 criteria and the remaining criterion is level, so Spark Hire is ahead on none of them; the closest of the 6 Greenhouse leads is Data Governance Disclosure, Greenhouse 64 to Spark Hire 60. Bias Audit Transparency is the widest raw gap and the heaviest weighted swing at once (Greenhouse 86, Spark Hire 62, 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 +13.6 — the difference between the two totals before either is rounded. Shares are of 13.6 points of movement counted without direction. The table below rounds each side to a whole number first, so its Δ raw total reads +14 beside that +13.6.

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.
