§ The result
LoopCV leads AIApply by 7 points.

LoopCV leads 5 of the 7 criteria, including Pricing & Cancellation Fairness, while AIApply leads 1, including Data & Credential Safety, and 1 is level.

Weighted delta is the raw difference times the criterion weight, so the 6 figures above sum to -7.1 — the difference between the two totals before either is rounded. Shares are of 13.1 points of movement counted without direction. The table below rounds each side to a whole number first, so its Δ raw total reads -7 beside that -7.1.

§ 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.
