§ The result
1 point separates SEEK and Spark Hire.
SEEK holds a 1-point edge over Spark Hire under rubric v1.0, 54 to 53, across the Screening and Video interview cohorts. Spark Hire takes 1 of the 7 criteria, Bias Audit Transparency among them, against 3 for SEEK, whose share includes Article 11 Technical Documentation, and 3 are level. Bias Audit Transparency is at once the widest raw gap and the heaviest weighted swing, and it belongs to Spark Hire — SEEK 40, Spark Hire 62, on an 18% weight — which is 100% of the weighted advantage Spark Hire holds across the 1 criterion on that side of the table.

0.3 weighted points to SEEK
Weighted delta is the raw difference times the criterion weight, so the 4 figures above sum to +0.2 — the difference between the two totals before either is rounded. Shares are of 8.1 points of movement counted without direction. The table below rounds each side to a whole number first, so its Δ raw total reads +1 beside that +0.2.

§ 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.
