§ The result
Indeed leads Keka on 6 of the 7 criteria.
Indeed sits 13 points above Keka under rubric v1.0 — 50 against 37 — with Indeed filed under Sourcing and Keka under ATS-integrated. Indeed leads 6 of the 7 criteria and the remaining criterion is level, so Keka is ahead on none of them; the closest of the 6 Indeed leads is FRIA Support, Indeed 38 to Keka 30. One criterion, Article 11 Technical Documentation, is both the widest raw gap (Indeed 58, Keka 30) and the heaviest weighted swing, and at 20% weight it makes up 41% of the weighted advantage Indeed holds across the 6 criteria it leads.

Weighted delta is the raw difference times the criterion weight, so the 6 figures above sum to +13.5 — the difference between the two totals before either is rounded. Shares are of 13.5 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 +13.5.

§ 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.
