Tezi (Screening) edges Rippling (ATS-integrated) by 2 points under rubric v1.0, 58 to 56. Rippling leads more of the criteria than Tezi — 4 to 3 — but Bias Audit Transparency, which Tezi leads, carries 18% of the rubric, and the weighted sum still falls to Tezi. Bias Audit Transparency is both the widest raw gap and the heaviest weighted swing — Rippling 42, Tezi 83 — and at an 18% weight it carries 81% of the weighted advantage Tezi holds across the 3 criteria on that side of the table.

Weighted delta is the raw difference times the criterion weight, so the 7 figures above sum to -1.3 — the difference between the two totals before either is rounded. Shares are of 16.8 points of movement counted without direction. The table below rounds each side to a whole number first, so its Δ raw total reads -2 beside that -1.3.

§ 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.
