§ The result
Alva Labs leads VidCruiter on all 7 criteria.
Alva Labs sits 13 points above VidCruiter under rubric v1.0 — 61 (D) against 48 (F) — with Alva Labs filed under Assessment and VidCruiter under Video interview. Alva Labs leads every one of the 7 criteria, VidCruiter none of them, and the closest of the 7 is Human Oversight Design, Alva Labs 63 to VidCruiter 62. Article 11 Technical Documentation is the widest raw gap and the heaviest weighted swing at once (Alva Labs 78, VidCruiter 58, 20% weight), but it accounts for only 30% 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 +13.3 — the difference between the two totals before either is rounded. Shares are of 13.3 points of movement counted without direction. The table below rounds each side to a whole number first, so its Δ raw total reads +13 beside that +13.3.

§ 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.
