§ The result
2 points separate HiredScore and Xobin.
HiredScore holds a 2-point edge over Xobin under rubric v1.0, 52 to 50, across the Sourcing and Assessment cohorts. The criteria split evenly, 3 each to HiredScore and Xobin, with 1 level, and the weighted points on the side HiredScore holds, headed by Bias Audit Transparency, settle the total. Bias Audit Transparency is both the widest raw gap and the heaviest weighted swing — HiredScore 55, Xobin 43 — and at an 18% weight it carries 72% of the weighted advantage HiredScore holds across the 3 criteria on that side of the table.

Weighted delta is the raw difference times the criterion weight, so the 6 figures above sum to +1.6 — the difference between the two totals before either is rounded. Shares are of 4.4 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 +1.6.

§ 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.
