§ The result
Huru leads AIApply on 6 of the 7 criteria.
Huru finishes 21 points clear of AIApply under rubric js-v1.0 — 64 (D) against 43 (F) — across the Career coaching and Auto-apply cohorts. Huru leads 6 of the 7 criteria and the remaining criterion is level, so AIApply is ahead on none of them; the closest of the 6 Huru leads is Data & Credential Safety, AIApply 55 to Huru 62. Employer & ATS Legitimacy is the widest raw gap and the heaviest weighted swing at once (AIApply 38, Huru 82, 15% weight), but it accounts for only 31% of the weighted advantage Huru 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 -21.3 — the difference between the two totals before either is rounded. Shares are of 21.3 points of movement counted without direction. The table below rounds each side to a whole number first, so its Δ raw total reads -21 beside that -21.3.

§ 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.
