§ The result
Textkernel takes the total, Infor Talent Science takes more of the criteria.
Textkernel holds a 2-point edge over Infor Talent Science under rubric v1.0, 51 to 49, across the Sourcing and Assessment cohorts. Infor Talent Science leads more of the criteria, 4 against 3 for Textkernel, yet Textkernel takes Bias Audit Transparency, which carries 18% of the rubric, and the weighted sum with it. Bias Audit Transparency is both the widest raw gap and the heaviest weighted swing — Infor Talent Science 42, Textkernel 55 — and at an 18% weight it carries 63% of the weighted advantage Textkernel holds across the 3 criteria on that side of the table.

Weighted delta is the raw difference times the criterion weight, so the 7 figures above sum to -1.7 — the difference between the two totals before either is rounded. Shares are of 5.6 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 -1.7.

§ 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.
