§ The result
Phenom takes the total, VidCruiter takes more of the criteria.
Phenom (Sourcing) edges VidCruiter (Video interview) by 4 points under rubric v1.0, 52 to 48. VidCruiter leads more of the criteria than Phenom — 5 to 2 — but Bias Audit Transparency, which Phenom leads, carries 18% of the rubric, and the weighted sum still falls to Phenom. Bias Audit Transparency is both the widest raw gap and the heaviest weighted swing — Phenom 75, VidCruiter 38 — and at an 18% weight it carries 92% of the weighted advantage Phenom holds across the 2 criteria on that side of the table.

Weighted delta is the raw difference times the criterion weight, so the 7 figures above sum to +4.6 — the difference between the two totals before either is rounded. Shares are of 9.9 points of movement counted without direction. The table below rounds each side to a whole number first, so its Δ raw total reads +4 beside that +4.6.

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.
