§ The result
SHL takes the total, Jobma takes more of the criteria.
SHL (Assessment) edges Jobma (Video interview) by 2 points under rubric v1.0, 51 to 49. Jobma leads more of the criteria than SHL — 4 to 3 — but Bias Audit Transparency, which SHL leads, carries 18% of the rubric, and the weighted sum still falls to SHL. Bias Audit Transparency is both the widest raw gap and the heaviest weighted swing — Jobma 40, SHL 50 — and at an 18% weight it carries 58% of the weighted advantage SHL holds across the 3 criteria on that side of the table.

Weighted delta is the raw difference times the criterion weight, so the 7 figures above sum to -1.5 — the difference between the two totals before either is rounded. Shares are of 4.7 points of movement counted without direction. The table below rounds each side to a whole number first, so its Δ raw total reads -2 beside that -1.5.

§ 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.
