§ The result
LinkedIn Recruiter leads micro1 on all 7 criteria.
LinkedIn Recruiter finishes 21 points clear of micro1 under rubric v1.0 — 57 against 36 — across the Sourcing and Screening cohorts. LinkedIn Recruiter leads every one of the 7 criteria and 3 of them by 20 raw points or more, Bias Audit Transparency among them; micro1 leads none. The advantage LinkedIn Recruiter holds is spread out: Bias Audit Transparency is both the widest raw gap and the heaviest weighted swing (LinkedIn Recruiter 50, micro1 20, 18% weight), yet it supplies only 26% of the weighted points LinkedIn Recruiter gains across the 7 criteria it leads.

Weighted delta is the raw difference times the criterion weight, so the 7 figures above sum to +20.8 — the difference between the two totals before either is rounded. Shares are of 20.8 points of movement counted without direction. The table below rounds each side to a whole number first, so its Δ raw total reads +21 beside that +20.8.

§ 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.
