§ The result
Workable leads RecruitBot by 11 points.
Workable, filed under ATS-integrated, comes out 11 points above RecruitBot, filed under Sourcing: 48 against 37 under rubric v1.0. The 7 criteria split 6 to 1 in favour of Workable: Workable is ahead on Article 11 Technical Documentation and RecruitBot on FRIA Support. The advantage Workable holds is spread out: Article 11 Technical Documentation is both the widest raw gap and the heaviest weighted swing (RecruitBot 33, Workable 55, 20% weight), yet it supplies only 39% of the weighted points Workable gains across the 6 criteria it leads.

Weighted delta is the raw difference times the criterion weight, so the 7 figures above sum to -11.0 — the difference between the two totals before either is rounded. Shares are of 11.6 points of movement counted without direction. The table below rounds each side to a whole number first, so its Δ raw total reads -11 beside that -11.0.

§ 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.
