§ The result
4 points separate Arctic Shores and Zoho Recruit.
Arctic Shores holds a 4-point edge over Zoho Recruit under rubric v1.0, 46 to 42, across the Assessment and ATS-integrated cohorts.

Shares are of 6.3 points of movement counted without direction. The table below rounds each side to a whole number first, so its Δ raw total reads +4 beside that +3.9.

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.
