§ The result
Pillar and Recruit CRM tie at 40.
Pillar (Screening) and Recruit CRM (ATS-integrated) tie at 40 under rubric v1.0, arriving there from different criteria. Pillar leads 2 of the 7 criteria and Recruit CRM 5, yet the two totals land on the same number. One criterion, Bias Audit Transparency, is both the widest raw gap (Pillar 38, Recruit CRM 20) and the heaviest weighted swing, and at 18% weight it makes up 67% of the weighted advantage Pillar holds across the 2 criteria it leads.

Weighted delta is the raw difference times the criterion weight, so the 7 figures above sum to -0.2 — 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 0 beside that -0.2.

§ 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.
