§ The result
Alva Labs leads Jobvite on all 7 criteria.
Alva Labs finishes 16 points clear of Jobvite under rubric v1.0 — 61 (D) against 45 (F) — across the Assessment and ATS-integrated cohorts. Alva Labs leads every one of the 7 criteria, Jobvite none of them, and the closest of the 7 is FRIA Support, Alva Labs 38 to Jobvite 30. Article 11 Technical Documentation is the widest raw gap and the heaviest weighted swing at once (Alva Labs 78, Jobvite 50, 20% weight), but it accounts for only 35% of the weighted advantage Alva Labs holds across the 7 criteria on that side of the table.

Weighted delta is the raw difference times the criterion weight, so the 7 figures above sum to +15.8 — the difference between the two totals before either is rounded. Shares are of 15.8 points of movement counted without direction. The table below rounds each side to a whole number first, so its Δ raw total reads +16 beside that +15.8.

§ 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.
