§ The result
Vervoe takes the total, UKG takes more of the criteria.
Vervoe (Assessment) edges UKG (ATS-integrated) by 2 points under rubric v1.0, 46 to 44. UKG leads more of the criteria than Vervoe — 4 to 3 — but Bias Audit Transparency, which Vervoe leads, carries 18% of the rubric, and the weighted sum still falls to Vervoe. Bias Audit Transparency is both the widest raw gap and the heaviest weighted swing — UKG 30, Vervoe 52 — and at an 18% weight it carries 77% of the weighted advantage Vervoe 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 -1.7 — the difference between the two totals before either is rounded. Shares are of 8.6 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 -1.7.

§ 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.
