§ The result
4 points separate UKG and Recruit CRM.
Under rubric v1.0, UKG and Recruit CRM finish 4 points apart, 44 to 40, as two ATS-integrated entries. Recruit CRM takes 3 of the 7 criteria, Human Oversight Design among them, against 4 for UKG, whose share includes Article 11 Technical Documentation. Article 11 Technical Documentation is both the widest raw gap and the heaviest weighted swing — Recruit CRM 34, UKG 48 — and at a 20% weight it carries 55% of the weighted advantage UKG holds across the 4 criteria on that side of the table.

Weighted delta is the raw difference times the criterion weight, so the 7 figures above sum to -3.5 — the difference between the two totals before either is rounded. Shares are of 6.7 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 -3.5.

§ 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.
