§ The result
2 points separate SEEK and HiredScore.
SEEK holds a 2-point edge over HiredScore under rubric v1.0, 54 to 52, across the Screening and Sourcing cohorts. SEEK leads 6 of the 7 criteria, including Post-Market Monitoring, while HiredScore leads 1, including Bias Audit Transparency. Bias Audit Transparency is at once the widest raw gap and the heaviest weighted swing, and it belongs to HiredScore — HiredScore 55, SEEK 40, on an 18% weight — which is 100% of the weighted advantage HiredScore holds across the 1 criterion on that side of the table.

Weighted delta is the raw difference times the criterion weight, so the 7 figures above sum to -1.7 — the difference between the two totals before either is rounded. Shares are of 7.1 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 -1.7.

§ 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.
