§ The result
4 points separate Workable and Retorio.
Workable (ATS-integrated) edges Retorio (Assessment) by 4 points under rubric v1.0, 48 to 44. Workable leads 6 of the 7 criteria, including Human Oversight Design, while Retorio leads 1, including FRIA Support. Human Oversight Design is the widest raw gap and the heaviest weighted swing at once (Retorio 52, Workable 62, 12% weight), but it accounts for only 24% of the weighted advantage Workable holds across the 6 criteria on that side of the table.

Weighted delta is the raw difference times the criterion weight, so the 7 figures above sum to -4.3 — the difference between the two totals before either is rounded. Shares are of 5.8 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 -4.3.

§ 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.
