§ The result
iCIMS leads Humanly on 6 of the 7 criteria.
iCIMS sits 13 points above Humanly under rubric v1.0 — 55 against 42 — with iCIMS filed under ATS-integrated and Humanly under Screening. iCIMS leads 6 of the 7 criteria and the remaining criterion is level, so Humanly is ahead on none of them; the closest of the 6 iCIMS leads is FRIA Support, Humanly 35 to iCIMS 38. Bias Audit Transparency is both the widest raw gap and the heaviest weighted swing — Humanly 40, iCIMS 68 — and at an 18% weight it carries 40% of the weighted advantage iCIMS holds across the 6 criteria on that side of the table.

Weighted delta is the raw difference times the criterion weight, so the 6 figures above sum to -12.7 — the difference between the two totals before either is rounded. Shares are of 12.7 points of movement counted without direction. The table below rounds each side to a whole number first, so its Δ raw total reads -13 beside that -12.7.

§ 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.
