§ The result
Workable leads SeekOut on 6 of the 7 criteria.
Workable sits 14 points above SeekOut under rubric v1.0 — 48 against 34 — with Workable filed under ATS-integrated and SeekOut under Sourcing. Workable leads 6 of the 7 criteria and the remaining criterion is level, so SeekOut is ahead on none of them; the closest of the 6 Workable leads is Bias Audit Transparency, SeekOut 40 to Workable 42. The widest raw gap and the heaviest weighted swing fall on different criteria: Data Governance Disclosure (SeekOut 35, Workable 58) and Article 11 Technical Documentation at 20% (SeekOut 35, Workable 55), the second being 29% 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 6 figures above sum to -13.6 — the difference between the two totals before either is rounded. Shares are of 13.6 points of movement counted without direction. The table below rounds each side to a whole number first, so its Δ raw total reads -14 beside that -13.6.

§ 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.
