§ The result
4 points separate Indeed and Korn Ferry.
Indeed holds a 4-point edge over Korn Ferry under rubric v1.0, 50 to 46, across the Sourcing and Assessment cohorts. Korn Ferry takes 1 of the 7 criteria, Bias Audit Transparency among them, against 5 for Indeed, whose share includes FRIA Support, and 1 is level. The advantage Indeed holds is spread out: FRIA Support is both the widest raw gap and the heaviest weighted swing (Indeed 38, Korn Ferry 25, 15% weight), yet it supplies only 33% of the weighted points Indeed gains across the 5 criteria it leads.

Weighted delta is the raw difference times the criterion weight, so the 6 figures above sum to +4.2 — 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 +4 beside that +4.2.

§ 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.
