§ The result
4 points separate HiBob and Humanly.
HiBob holds a 4-point edge over Humanly under rubric v1.0, 46 to 42, across the ATS-integrated and Screening cohorts. HiBob leads 5 of the 7 criteria, including Data Governance Disclosure, while Humanly leads 1, including Bias Audit Transparency, and 1 is level. Bias Audit Transparency is at once the widest raw gap and the heaviest weighted swing, and it belongs to Humanly — HiBob 20, Humanly 40, on an 18% weight — which is 100% of the weighted advantage Humanly holds across the 1 criterion on that side of the table.

Weighted delta is the raw difference times the criterion weight, so the 6 figures above sum to +4.3 — the difference between the two totals before either is rounded. Shares are of 11.5 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 +4.3.

§ 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.
