§ The result
Textkernel leads JobDiva on all 7 criteria.
Textkernel finishes 22 points clear of JobDiva under rubric v1.0 — 51 against 29 — across the Sourcing and ATS-integrated cohorts. Textkernel leads every one of the 7 criteria and 4 of them by 20 raw points or more, Bias Audit Transparency among them; JobDiva leads none. The advantage Textkernel holds is spread out: Bias Audit Transparency is both the widest raw gap and the heaviest weighted swing (JobDiva 15, Textkernel 55, 18% weight), yet it supplies only 33% of the weighted points Textkernel gains across the 7 criteria it leads.

Weighted delta is the raw difference times the criterion weight, so the 7 figures above sum to -21.8 — the difference between the two totals before either is rounded. Shares are of 21.8 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 -21.8.

§ 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.
