§ The result
Indeed leads UKG on all 7 criteria.
Under rubric v1.0, Indeed, filed under Sourcing, finishes on 50 and UKG, filed under ATS-integrated, on 44, 6 points apart. Indeed takes all 7 criteria from UKG without a 20-point raw gap on any of them; the closest is Data Governance Disclosure, Indeed 58 to UKG 56. The widest raw gap and the heaviest weighted swing fall on different criteria: Human Oversight Design (Indeed 63, UKG 52) and Article 11 Technical Documentation at 20% (Indeed 58, UKG 48), the second being 31% of the weighted advantage Indeed holds across the 7 criteria on that side of the table.

Weighted delta is the raw difference times the criterion weight, so the 7 figures above sum to +6.5 — the difference between the two totals before either is rounded. Shares are of 6.5 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 +6.5.

§ 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.
