§ The result
UKG takes the total, hireEZ takes more of the criteria.
UKG (ATS-integrated) edges hireEZ (Sourcing) by 2 points under rubric v1.0, 44 to 42. hireEZ leads more of the criteria than UKG — 3 to 2 — but Article 11 Technical Documentation, which UKG leads, carries 20% of the rubric, and the weighted sum still falls to UKG. Article 11 Technical Documentation is both the widest raw gap and the heaviest weighted swing — hireEZ 38, UKG 48 — and at a 20% weight it carries 57% of the weighted advantage UKG holds across the 2 criteria on that side of the table.

Weighted delta is the raw difference times the criterion weight, so the 5 figures above sum to -1.9 — the difference between the two totals before either is rounded. Shares are of 5.1 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 -1.9.

§ 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.
