§ The result
Sense leads Indeed by 8 points.
Sense scores 58 and Indeed 50 under rubric v1.0, an 8-point gap across the Screening and Sourcing cohorts. The 7 criteria split 4 to 1 in favour of Sense, with 2 level: Sense is ahead on Bias Audit Transparency and Indeed on Customer Documentation. One criterion, Bias Audit Transparency, is both the widest raw gap (Indeed 38, Sense 72) and the heaviest weighted swing, and at 18% weight it makes up 76% of the weighted advantage Sense holds across the 4 criteria it leads.

Weighted delta is the raw difference times the criterion weight, so the 5 figures above sum to -7.9 — the difference between the two totals before either is rounded. Shares are of 8.2 points of movement counted without direction. The table below rounds each side to a whole number first, so its Δ raw total reads -8 beside that -7.9.

§ 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.
