§ The result
1 point separates HackerEarth and JobAdder.
HackerEarth (Assessment) edges JobAdder (ATS-integrated) by 1 point under rubric v1.0, 46 to 45. HackerEarth and JobAdder each lead 3 of the 7 criteria, with 1 level, though the side of the split HackerEarth holds (headed by Article 11 Technical Documentation) adds up to more weighted points. One criterion, Article 11 Technical Documentation, is both the widest raw gap (HackerEarth 55, JobAdder 50) and the heaviest weighted swing, and at 20% weight it makes up 65% of the weighted advantage HackerEarth holds across the 3 criteria it leads.

Weighted delta is the raw difference times the criterion weight, so the 6 figures above sum to +0.7 — the difference between the two totals before either is rounded. Shares are of 2.3 points of movement counted without direction. The table below rounds each side to a whole number first, so its Δ raw total reads +1 beside that +0.7.

§ 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.
