§ The result
Cornerstone OnDemand leads Alooba on 6 of the 7 criteria.
Under rubric v1.0, Cornerstone OnDemand (ATS-integrated) opens an 18-point lead on Alooba (Assessment), 56 to 38. Alooba is ahead on none of the 7 criteria: Cornerstone OnDemand takes 6, the remaining criterion is level, and the nearest of those 6 is Customer Documentation, Alooba 58 to Cornerstone OnDemand 60. Bias Audit Transparency is the widest raw gap and the heaviest weighted swing at once (Alooba 22, Cornerstone OnDemand 58, 18% weight), but it accounts for only 37% of the weighted advantage Cornerstone OnDemand holds across the 6 criteria on that side of the table.

Shares are of 17.4 points of movement counted without direction. The table below rounds each side to a whole number first, so its Δ raw total reads -18 beside that -17.4.
