§ The result
Humanly leads SeekOut on 6 of the 7 criteria.
Humanly scores 42 and SeekOut 34 under rubric v1.0, an 8-point gap across the Screening and Sourcing cohorts. Humanly leads 6 of the 7 criteria and the remaining criterion is level, so SeekOut is ahead on none of them; the closest of the 6 Humanly leads is Data Governance Disclosure, Humanly 40 to SeekOut 35. The widest raw gap and the heaviest weighted swing fall on different criteria: Customer Documentation (Humanly 52, SeekOut 35) and Article 11 Technical Documentation at 20% (Humanly 45, SeekOut 35), the second being 26% of the weighted advantage Humanly 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 +7.8 — the difference between the two totals before either is rounded. Shares are of 7.8 points of movement counted without direction. The table below rounds each side to a whole number first, so its Δ raw total reads +8 beside that +7.8.

§ 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.
