§ The result
Xobin takes the total, HiBob takes more of the criteria.
Xobin holds a 4-point edge over HiBob under rubric v1.0, 50 to 46, across the Assessment and ATS-integrated cohorts. HiBob leads more of the criteria, 3 against 2 for Xobin, yet Xobin 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 — HiBob 20, Xobin 43 — and at an 18% weight it carries 75% of the weighted advantage Xobin holds across the 2 criteria on that side of the table.

Weighted delta is the raw difference times the criterion weight, so the 5 figures above sum to -3.8 — the difference between the two totals before either is rounded. Shares are of 7.3 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 -3.8.

§ 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.
