§ The result
VidCruiter leads Alooba by 10 points.
VidCruiter sits 10 points above Alooba under rubric v1.0 — 48 against 38 — with VidCruiter filed under Video interview and Alooba under Assessment. The 7 criteria split 6 to 1 in favour of VidCruiter: VidCruiter is ahead on Article 11 Technical Documentation and Alooba on Post-Market Monitoring. Article 11 Technical Documentation is the widest raw gap and the heaviest weighted swing at once (Alooba 40, VidCruiter 58, 20% weight), but it accounts for only 37% of the weighted advantage VidCruiter holds across the 6 criteria on that side of the table.

Weighted delta is the raw difference times the criterion weight, so the 7 figures above sum to -9.4 — the difference between the two totals before either is rounded. Shares are of 10.1 points of movement counted without direction. The table below rounds each side to a whole number first, so its Δ raw total reads -10 beside that -9.4.

§ 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.
