§ The result
4 points separate Workable and UKG.
Within the ATS-integrated cohort, Workable edges UKG by 4 points under rubric v1.0, 48 to 44. Workable leads 6 of the 7 criteria, including Bias Audit Transparency, while UKG leads 1, including FRIA Support. Bias Audit Transparency is the widest raw gap and the heaviest weighted swing at once (UKG 30, Workable 42, 18% weight), but it accounts for only 38% 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 7 figures above sum to -4.1 — the difference between the two totals before either is rounded. Shares are of 7.1 points of movement counted without direction. The table below rounds each side to a whole number first, so its Δ raw total reads -4 beside that -4.1.

§ 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.
