§ The result
Tezi takes the total, LinkedIn Recruiter takes more of the criteria.
Tezi holds a 1-point edge over LinkedIn Recruiter under rubric v1.0, 58 to 57, across the Screening and Sourcing cohorts. LinkedIn Recruiter leads more of the criteria, 4 against 2 for Tezi, yet Tezi takes Bias Audit Transparency, which carries 18% of the rubric, and the weighted sum with it. Bias Audit Transparency is both the widest raw gap and the heaviest weighted swing — LinkedIn Recruiter 50, Tezi 83 — and at an 18% weight it carries 86% of the weighted advantage Tezi holds across the 2 criteria on that side of the table.

Shares are of 12.7 points of movement counted without direction. The table below rounds each side to a whole number first, so its Δ raw total reads -1 beside that -1.0.
