§ The result
Stepstone leads JobDiva on all 7 criteria.
Under rubric v1.0, Stepstone (Screening) opens a 20-point lead on JobDiva (ATS-integrated), 49 to 29. Stepstone takes all 7 criteria and JobDiva none of them; the nearest contest is FRIA Support, JobDiva 22 to Stepstone 30. The advantage Stepstone holds is spread out: Bias Audit Transparency is both the widest raw gap and the heaviest weighted swing (JobDiva 15, Stepstone 50, 18% weight), yet it supplies only 32% of the weighted points Stepstone gains across the 7 criteria it leads.

1.0 weighted points to Stepstone
Weighted delta is the raw difference times the criterion weight, so the 7 figures above sum to -19.9 — the difference between the two totals before either is rounded. Shares are of 19.9 points of movement counted without direction. The table below rounds each side to a whole number first, so its Δ raw total reads -20 beside that -19.9.

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.
