§ The result
AIApply leads Verve AI by 14 points.
AIApply sits 14 points above Verve AI under rubric js-v1.0 — 43 against 29 — with AIApply filed under Auto-apply and Verve AI under Live interview. AIApply leads 5 of the 7 criteria, including User Control & Transparency, while Verve AI leads 1, including Pricing & Cancellation Fairness, and 1 is level. User Control & Transparency is the widest raw gap and the heaviest weighted swing at once (AIApply 50, Verve AI 18, 15% weight), but it accounts for only 30% of the weighted advantage AIApply holds across the 5 criteria on that side of the table.

Shares are of 17.9 points of movement counted without direction. The table below rounds each side to a whole number first, so its Δ raw total reads +14 beside that +13.7.
