§ The result
JobAdder leads Alooba by 7 points.
JobAdder scores 45 and Alooba 38 under rubric v1.0, a 7-point gap across the ATS-integrated and Assessment cohorts. The 7 criteria split 5 to 1 in favour of JobAdder, with 1 level: JobAdder is ahead on Bias Audit Transparency and Alooba on Human Oversight Design. The advantage JobAdder holds is spread out: Bias Audit Transparency is both the widest raw gap and the heaviest weighted swing (Alooba 22, JobAdder 35, 18% weight), yet it supplies only 33% of the weighted points JobAdder gains across the 5 criteria it leads.

Weighted delta is the raw difference times the criterion weight, so the 6 figures above sum to -7.0 — the difference between the two totals before either is rounded. Shares are of 7.2 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 -7.0.

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.
