§ The result
Ribbon leads HeroHunt.ai on 6 of the 7 criteria.
Ribbon sits 13 points above HeroHunt.ai under rubric v1.0 — 43 against 30 — with Ribbon filed under Screening and HeroHunt.ai under Sourcing. Ribbon leads 6 of the 7 criteria and the remaining criterion is level, so HeroHunt.ai is ahead on none of them; the closest of the 6 Ribbon leads is Data Governance Disclosure, HeroHunt.ai 45 to Ribbon 50. The advantage Ribbon holds is spread out: Bias Audit Transparency is both the widest raw gap and the heaviest weighted swing (HeroHunt.ai 10, Ribbon 38, 18% weight), yet it supplies only 39% of the weighted points Ribbon gains across the 6 criteria it leads.

Weighted delta is the raw difference times the criterion weight, so the 6 figures above sum to -13.0 — the difference between the two totals before either is rounded. Shares are of 13.0 points of movement counted without direction. The table below rounds each side to a whole number first, so its Δ raw total reads -13 beside that -13.0.

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.
