§ The result
Alva Labs leads HeroHunt.ai on all 7 criteria.
Rubric v1.0 puts 31 points between Alva Labs (Assessment) and HeroHunt.ai (Sourcing): 61 (D) for Alva Labs, 30 (F) for HeroHunt.ai. Alva Labs leads every one of the 7 criteria and 5 of them by 20 raw points or more, Article 11 Technical Documentation among them; HeroHunt.ai leads none. The advantage Alva Labs holds is spread out: Article 11 Technical Documentation is both the widest raw gap and the heaviest weighted swing (Alva Labs 78, HeroHunt.ai 20, 20% weight), yet it supplies only 38% of the weighted points Alva Labs gains across the 7 criteria it leads.

Weighted delta is the raw difference times the criterion weight, so the 7 figures above sum to +30.8 — the difference between the two totals before either is rounded. Shares are of 30.8 points of movement counted without direction. The table below rounds each side to a whole number first, so its Δ raw total reads +31 beside that +30.8.
