§ The result
Alva Labs leads SAP SuccessFactors Recruiting on all 7 criteria.
Alva Labs scores 61 (D) and SAP SuccessFactors Recruiting 53 (F) under rubric v1.0, an 8-point gap across the Assessment and ATS-integrated cohorts. Alva Labs is ahead of SAP SuccessFactors Recruiting on all 7 criteria but on none of them by as much as 20 raw points, the closest being Human Oversight Design at Alva Labs 63 to SAP SuccessFactors Recruiting 62. Bias Audit Transparency is the widest raw gap and the heaviest weighted swing at once (Alva Labs 58, SAP SuccessFactors Recruiting 40, 18% weight), but it accounts for only 38% 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 +8.5 — the difference between the two totals before either is rounded. Shares are of 8.5 points of movement counted without direction. The table below rounds each side to a whole number first, so its Δ raw total reads +8 beside that +8.5.
