§ The result
UKG leads SeekOut by 10 points.
UKG sits 10 points above SeekOut under rubric v1.0 — 44 against 34 — with UKG filed under ATS-integrated and SeekOut under Sourcing. UKG leads 6 of the 7 criteria, including Data Governance Disclosure, while SeekOut leads 1, including Bias Audit Transparency. Data Governance Disclosure is the widest raw gap and the heaviest weighted swing at once (SeekOut 35, UKG 56, 15% weight), but it accounts for only 28% of the weighted advantage UKG 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 -9.4 — the difference between the two totals before either is rounded. Shares are of 13.1 points of movement counted without direction. The table below rounds each side to a whole number first, so its Δ raw total reads -10 beside that -9.4.

§ 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.
