The result
HackerRank takes the total, Indeed takes more of the criteria.
HackerRank scores 55 and Indeed 50 under rubric v1.0, a 5-point gap across the Assessment and Sourcing cohorts. Indeed leads more of the criteria than HackerRank — 4 to 3 — but Bias Audit Transparency, which HackerRank leads, carries 18% of the rubric, and the weighted sum still falls to HackerRank. One criterion, Bias Audit Transparency, is both the widest raw gap (HackerRank 68, Indeed 38) and the heaviest weighted swing, and at 18% weight it makes up 84% of the weighted advantage HackerRank holds across the 3 criteria it leads.

Weighted delta is the raw difference times the criterion weight, so the 7 figures above sum to +5.0 — the difference between the two totals before either is rounded. Shares are of 7.8 points of movement counted without direction. The table below rounds each side to a whole number first, so its Δ raw total reads +5 beside that +5.0.

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.
