§ The result
Massive leads AIApply on all 7 criteria.
Massive scores 50 and AIApply 43 under rubric js-v1.0 — a 7-point gap inside the Auto-apply cohort. Massive leads every one of the 7 criteria, AIApply none of them, and the closest of the 7 is Data & Credential Safety, AIApply 55 to Massive 57. Effectiveness Evidence is the widest raw gap and the heaviest weighted swing at once (AIApply 33, Massive 55, 12% weight), but it accounts for only 35% of the weighted advantage Massive holds across the 7 criteria on that side of the table.

Weighted delta is the raw difference times the criterion weight, so the 7 figures above sum to -7.5 — the difference between the two totals before either is rounded. Shares are of 7.5 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 -7.5.

§ 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.
