§ The result
4 points separate HighMatch and Workstream.
HighMatch holds a 4-point edge over Workstream under rubric v1.0, 43 to 39, across the Assessment and Screening cohorts. Workstream takes 1 of the 7 criteria, Human Oversight Design among them, against 6 for HighMatch, whose share includes Bias Audit Transparency. Bias Audit Transparency is the widest raw gap and the heaviest weighted swing at once (HighMatch 30, Workstream 20, 18% weight), but it accounts for only 38% of the weighted advantage HighMatch holds across the 6 criteria on that side of the table.

Weighted delta is the raw difference times the criterion weight, so the 7 figures above sum to +4.6 — the difference between the two totals before either is rounded. Shares are of 4.9 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 +4.6.

§ 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.
