§ The result
Maki People leads JobAdder on all 7 criteria.
Maki People finishes 22 points clear of JobAdder under rubric v1.0 — 67 (D) against 45 (F) — across the Assessment and ATS-integrated cohorts. Maki People takes all 7 criteria and JobAdder none of them; the nearest contest is Data Governance Disclosure, JobAdder 56 to Maki People 64. Bias Audit Transparency is the widest raw gap and the heaviest weighted swing at once (JobAdder 35, Maki People 80, 18% weight), but it accounts for only 38% of the weighted advantage Maki People 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 -21.1 — the difference between the two totals before either is rounded. Shares are of 21.1 points of movement counted without direction. The table below rounds each side to a whole number first, so its Δ raw total reads -22 beside that -21.1.

§ 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.
