Under rubric v1.0, Wellfound, filed under Screening, finishes on 52 and Vincere, filed under ATS-integrated, on 44, 8 points apart. Vincere leads more of the criteria, 5 against 2 for Wellfound, yet Wellfound takes Bias Audit Transparency, which carries 18% of the rubric, and the weighted sum with it. Bias Audit Transparency is both the widest raw gap and the heaviest weighted swing — Vincere 18, Wellfound 82 — and at an 18% weight it carries 83% of the weighted advantage Wellfound holds across the 2 criteria on that side of the table.

Weighted delta is the raw difference times the criterion weight, so the 7 figures above sum to -7.4 — the difference between the two totals before either is rounded. Shares are of 20.4 points of movement counted without direction. The table below rounds each side to a whole number first, so its Δ raw total reads -8 beside that -7.4.

§ 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.
