§ The result
Harver takes the total, iCIMS takes more of the criteria.
Harver (Assessment) edges iCIMS (ATS-integrated) by 1 point under rubric v1.0, 56 to 55. iCIMS leads more of the criteria than Harver — 5 to 2 — but Bias Audit Transparency, which Harver leads, carries 18% of the rubric, and the weighted sum still falls to Harver. Bias Audit Transparency is both the widest raw gap and the heaviest weighted swing — Harver 80, iCIMS 68 — and at an 18% weight it carries 61% of the weighted advantage Harver holds across the 2 criteria on that side of the table.

Weighted delta is the raw difference times the criterion weight, so the 7 figures above sum to +1.6 — the difference between the two totals before either is rounded. Shares are of 5.5 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 +1.6.

§ 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.
