§ The result
iCIMS takes the total, Indeed takes more of the criteria.
Under rubric v1.0, iCIMS, filed under ATS-integrated, finishes on 55 and Indeed, filed under Sourcing, on 50, 5 points apart. Indeed leads more of the criteria, 3 against 2 for iCIMS, yet iCIMS takes Bias Audit Transparency, which carries 18% of the rubric, and the weighted sum with it. Bias Audit Transparency is both the widest raw gap and the heaviest weighted swing — iCIMS 68, Indeed 38 — and at an 18% weight it carries 96% of the weighted advantage iCIMS 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 +4.6 — the difference between the two totals before either is rounded. Shares are of 6.7 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 +4.6.

§ 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.
