§ The result
2 points separate Indeed and Workable.
Indeed holds a 2-point edge over Workable under rubric v1.0, 50 to 48, across the Sourcing and ATS-integrated cohorts. Workable takes 2 of the 7 criteria, Bias Audit Transparency among them, against 4 for Indeed, whose share includes FRIA Support, and 1 is level. FRIA Support is both the widest raw gap and the heaviest weighted swing — Indeed 38, Workable 25 — and at a 15% weight it carries 59% 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 +2.4 — the difference between the two totals before either is rounded. Shares are of 4.3 points of movement counted without direction. The table below rounds each side to a whole number first, so its Δ raw total reads +2 beside that +2.4.

§ 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.
