§ The result
hireEZ leads Loxo by 5 points.
hireEZ scores 42 and Loxo 37 under rubric v1.0 — a 5-point gap inside the Sourcing cohort. hireEZ leads 4 of the 7 criteria, including Bias Audit Transparency, while Loxo leads 2, including FRIA Support, and 1 is level. Bias Audit Transparency is the widest raw gap and the heaviest weighted swing at once (hireEZ 30, Loxo 20, 18% weight), but it accounts for only 31% of the weighted advantage hireEZ holds across the 4 criteria on that side of the table.

Weighted delta is the raw difference times the criterion weight, so the 6 figures above sum to +4.9 — the difference between the two totals before either is rounded. Shares are of 6.9 points of movement counted without direction. The table below rounds each side to a whole number first, so its Δ raw total reads +5 beside that +4.9.

§ 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.
