§ The result
JobAdder leads Arena Analytics on all 7 criteria.
JobAdder sits 13 points above Arena Analytics under rubric v1.0 — 45 against 32 — with JobAdder filed under ATS-integrated and Arena Analytics under Screening. JobAdder leads every one of the 7 criteria, Arena Analytics none of them, and the closest of the 7 is FRIA Support, Arena Analytics 25 to JobAdder 30. Article 11 Technical Documentation is the widest raw gap and the heaviest weighted swing at once (Arena Analytics 30, JobAdder 50, 20% weight), but it accounts for only 29% of the weighted advantage JobAdder 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 -14.0 — the difference between the two totals before either is rounded. Shares are of 14.0 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 -14.0.

§ 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.
