§ The result
Pillar takes the total, RecruitBot takes more of the criteria.
Pillar (Screening) edges RecruitBot (Sourcing) by 3 points under rubric v1.0, 40 to 37. RecruitBot leads more of the criteria than Pillar — 4 to 3 — but Bias Audit Transparency, which Pillar leads, carries 18% of the rubric, and the weighted sum still falls to Pillar. One criterion, Bias Audit Transparency, is both the widest raw gap (Pillar 38, RecruitBot 22) and the heaviest weighted swing, and at 18% weight it makes up 56% of the weighted advantage Pillar holds across the 3 criteria it leads.

Weighted delta is the raw difference times the criterion weight, so the 7 figures above sum to +3.2 — the difference between the two totals before either is rounded. Shares are of 7.1 points of movement counted without direction. The table below rounds each side to a whole number first, so its Δ raw total reads +3 beside that +3.2.

§ 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.
