§ The result
JobAdder leads Pillar by 5 points.
JobAdder scores 45 and Pillar 40 under rubric v1.0, a 5-point gap across the ATS-integrated and Screening cohorts. Pillar takes 1 of the 7 criteria, Bias Audit Transparency among them, against 5 for JobAdder, whose share includes Data Governance Disclosure, and 1 is level. Data Governance Disclosure is the widest raw gap and the heaviest weighted swing at once (JobAdder 56, Pillar 45, 15% weight), but it accounts for only 28% of the weighted advantage JobAdder holds across the 5 criteria on that side of the table.

Weighted delta is the raw difference times the criterion weight, so the 6 figures above sum to +5.3 — the difference between the two totals before either is rounded. Shares are of 6.3 points of movement counted without direction. The table below rounds each side to a whole number first, so its Δ raw total reads +5 beside that +5.3.

§ 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.
