§ The result
SeekOut takes the total, HeroHunt.ai takes more of the criteria.
SeekOut holds a 4-point edge over HeroHunt.ai under rubric v1.0, 34 to 30, with both scored in the Sourcing cohort. HeroHunt.ai leads more of the criteria, 5 against 2 for SeekOut, yet SeekOut takes Bias Audit Transparency, which carries 18% of the rubric, and the weighted sum with it. Bias Audit Transparency is both the widest raw gap and the heaviest weighted swing — HeroHunt.ai 10, SeekOut 40 — and at an 18% weight it carries 64% of the weighted advantage SeekOut holds across the 2 criteria on that side of the table.

Shares are of 12.8 points of movement counted without direction. The table below rounds each side to a whole number first, so its Δ raw total reads -4 beside that -4.0.

§ 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.
