§ The result
1 point separates JobAdder and UKG.
Under rubric v1.0, JobAdder and UKG finish 1 point apart, 45 to 44, as two ATS-integrated entries. UKG takes 1 of the 7 criteria, FRIA Support among them, against 5 for JobAdder, whose share includes Bias Audit Transparency, and 1 is level. Bias Audit Transparency is the widest raw gap and the heaviest weighted swing at once (JobAdder 35, UKG 30, 18% weight), but it accounts for only 38% 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 +1.6 — the difference between the two totals before either is rounded. Shares are of 3.1 points of movement counted without direction. The table below rounds each side to a whole number first, so its Δ raw total reads +1 beside that +1.6.

§ 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.
