§ The result
HiredScore takes the total, Indeed takes more of the criteria.
Under rubric v1.0, HiredScore and Indeed finish 2 points apart, 52 to 50, as two Sourcing entries. Indeed leads more of the criteria than HiredScore — 5 to 2 — but Bias Audit Transparency, which HiredScore leads, carries 18% of the rubric, and the weighted sum still falls to HiredScore. One criterion, Bias Audit Transparency, is both the widest raw gap (HiredScore 55, Indeed 38) and the heaviest weighted swing, and at 18% weight it makes up 69% of the weighted advantage HiredScore holds across the 2 criteria it leads.

Weighted delta is the raw difference times the criterion weight, so the 7 figures above sum to +1.5 — the difference between the two totals before either is rounded. Shares are of 7.4 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 +1.5.

§ 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.
