§ The result
X0PA AI takes the total, HiBob takes more of the criteria.
X0PA AI (Assessment) edges HiBob (ATS-integrated) by 2 points under rubric v1.0, 48 to 46. HiBob leads more of the criteria than X0PA AI — 5 to 2 — but Bias Audit Transparency, which X0PA AI leads, carries 18% of the rubric, and the weighted sum still falls to X0PA AI. One criterion, Bias Audit Transparency, is both the widest raw gap (HiBob 20, X0PA AI 44) and the heaviest weighted swing, and at 18% weight it makes up 91% of the weighted advantage X0PA AI holds across the 2 criteria it leads.

Weighted delta is the raw difference times the criterion weight, so the 7 figures above sum to -2.0 — the difference between the two totals before either is rounded. Shares are of 7.6 points of movement counted without direction. The table below rounds each side to a whole number first, so its Δ raw total reads -2 beside that -2.0.

§ 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.
