§ The result
Indeed leads HireQuotient on all 7 criteria.
The Sourcing cohort pairing of Indeed and HireQuotient comes out 50 to 34 under rubric v1.0, a 16-point lead for Indeed. Of the 7 criteria HireQuotient wins none, and the narrowest lead Indeed holds is on Human Oversight Design, HireQuotient 57 to Indeed 63. Article 11 Technical Documentation is the widest raw gap and the heaviest weighted swing at once (HireQuotient 35, Indeed 58, 20% weight), but it accounts for only 28% of the weighted advantage Indeed holds across the 7 criteria on that side of the table.

Weighted delta is the raw difference times the criterion weight, so the 7 figures above sum to -16.3 — the difference between the two totals before either is rounded. Shares are of 16.3 points of movement counted without direction. The table below rounds each side to a whole number first, so its Δ raw total reads -16 beside that -16.3.

§ 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.
