§ The result
4 points separate Indeed and Talkpush.
Indeed (Sourcing) edges Talkpush (Screening) by 4 points under rubric v1.0, 50 to 46. Indeed leads 5 of the 7 criteria, including Data Governance Disclosure, while Talkpush leads 2, including Bias Audit Transparency. The advantage Indeed holds is spread out: Data Governance Disclosure is both the widest raw gap and the heaviest weighted swing (Indeed 58, Talkpush 44, 15% weight), yet it supplies only 34% of the weighted points Indeed gains across the 5 criteria it leads.

Weighted delta is the raw difference times the criterion weight, so the 7 figures above sum to +4.7 — the difference between the two totals before either is rounded. Shares are of 7.5 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 +4.7.

§ 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.
