§ The result
1 point separates Indeed and Oracle Recruiting.
Indeed holds a 1-point edge over Oracle Recruiting under rubric v1.0, 50 to 49, across the Sourcing and ATS-integrated cohorts. Oracle Recruiting takes 2 of the 7 criteria, Article 11 Technical Documentation among them, against 4 for Indeed, whose share includes Bias Audit Transparency, and 1 is level. Bias Audit Transparency is both the widest raw gap and the heaviest weighted swing — Indeed 38, Oracle Recruiting 30 — and at an 18% weight it carries 60% of the weighted advantage Indeed holds across the 4 criteria on that side of the table.

Weighted delta is the raw difference times the criterion weight, so the 6 figures above sum to +1.7 — the difference between the two totals before either is rounded. Shares are of 3.1 points of movement counted without direction. The table below rounds each side to a whole number first, so its Δ raw total reads +1 beside that +1.7.

§ 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.
