§ The result
JobAdder leads Workstream by 6 points.
Under rubric v1.0, JobAdder, filed under ATS-integrated, finishes on 45 and Workstream, filed under Screening, on 39, 6 points apart. The 7 criteria split 6 to 1 in favour of JobAdder: JobAdder is ahead on Bias Audit Transparency and Workstream on Human Oversight Design. Bias Audit Transparency is the widest raw gap and the heaviest weighted swing at once (JobAdder 35, Workstream 20, 18% weight), but it accounts for only 35% of the weighted advantage JobAdder holds across the 6 criteria on that side of the table.

Weighted delta is the raw difference times the criterion weight, so the 7 figures above sum to +6.8 — the difference between the two totals before either is rounded. Shares are of 8.5 points of movement counted without direction. The table below rounds each side to a whole number first, so its Δ raw total reads +6 beside that +6.8.

§ 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.
