Harver finishes 19 points clear of RecruitBot under rubric v1.0 — 56 against 37 — across the Assessment and Sourcing cohorts. Harver leads 5 of the 7 criteria and the remaining 2 are level, so RecruitBot is ahead on none of them; the closest of the 5 Harver leads is Customer Documentation, Harver 60 to RecruitBot 55.

Weighted delta is the raw difference times the criterion weight, so the 5 figures above sum to +19.5 — the difference between the two totals before either is rounded. Shares are of 19.5 points of movement counted without direction. The table below rounds each side to a whole number first, so its Δ raw total reads +19 beside that +19.5.

§ 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.
