§ The result
Indeed leads Workstream on all 7 criteria.
Indeed, filed under Sourcing, comes out 11 points above Workstream, filed under Screening: 50 against 39 under rubric v1.0. Indeed takes all 7 criteria from Workstream without a 20-point raw gap on any of them; the closest is Human Oversight Design, Indeed 63 to Workstream 61. The advantage Indeed holds is spread out: Article 11 Technical Documentation is both the widest raw gap and the heaviest weighted swing (Indeed 58, Workstream 40, 20% weight), yet it supplies only 31% of the weighted points Indeed gains across the 7 criteria it leads.

Weighted delta is the raw difference times the criterion weight, so the 7 figures above sum to +11.6 — the difference between the two totals before either is rounded. Shares are of 11.6 points of movement counted without direction. The table below rounds each side to a whole number first, so its Δ raw total reads +11 beside that +11.6.

§ 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.
