§ The result
Plum and SEEK tie at 54.
Plum, filed under Assessment, and SEEK, filed under Screening, tie at 54 under rubric v1.0 by different routes through the criteria. Plum leads 1 of the 7 criteria and SEEK 6, yet the two totals land on the same number. Bias Audit Transparency is both the widest raw gap and the heaviest weighted swing — Plum 83, SEEK 40 — and at an 18% weight it carries 100% of the weighted advantage Plum holds across the 1 criterion on that side of the table.

Weighted delta is the raw difference times the criterion weight, so the 7 figures above sum to +0.9 — the difference between the two totals before either is rounded. Shares are of 14.6 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 +0.9.

§ 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.
