§ The result
TalentLens takes the total, Recruit CRM takes more of the criteria.
TalentLens scores 46 and Recruit CRM 40 under rubric v1.0, a 6-point gap across the Assessment and ATS-integrated cohorts. Recruit CRM leads more of the criteria than TalentLens — 5 to 2 — but Bias Audit Transparency, which TalentLens leads, carries 18% of the rubric, and the weighted sum still falls to TalentLens. One criterion, Bias Audit Transparency, is both the widest raw gap (Recruit CRM 20, TalentLens 45) and the heaviest weighted swing, and at 18% weight it makes up 56% of the weighted advantage TalentLens holds across the 2 criteria it leads.

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.
