§ The result
Indeed leads Retorio by 6 points.
Indeed scores 50 and Retorio 44 under rubric v1.0, a 6-point gap across the Sourcing and Assessment cohorts. The 7 criteria split 6 to 1 in favour of Indeed: Indeed is ahead on Article 11 Technical Documentation and Retorio on Bias Audit Transparency. Customer Documentation is the widest raw gap (Indeed 64, Retorio 50) but not the heaviest weighted swing, which is Article 11 Technical Documentation at 20% (Indeed 58, Retorio 50), 23% of the weighted advantage Indeed builds across the 6 criteria it leads.

Weighted delta is the raw difference times the criterion weight, so the 7 figures above sum to +6.6 — the difference between the two totals before either is rounded. Shares are of 7.3 points of movement counted without direction. The table below rounds each side to a whole number first, so its Δ raw total reads +6 beside that +6.6.

§ 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.
