§ The result
Personio leads Arena Analytics on 6 of the 7 criteria.
Personio scores 40 and Arena Analytics 32 under rubric v1.0, an 8-point gap across the ATS-integrated and Screening cohorts. Personio leads 6 of the 7 criteria and the remaining criterion is level, so Arena Analytics is ahead on none of them; the closest of the 6 Personio leads is FRIA Support, Arena Analytics 25 to Personio 30. Post-Market Monitoring is the widest raw gap and the heaviest weighted swing at once (Arena Analytics 28, Personio 48, 12% weight), but it accounts for only 27% of the weighted advantage Personio holds across the 6 criteria on that side of the table.

Weighted delta is the raw difference times the criterion weight, so the 6 figures above sum to -8.8 — the difference between the two totals before either is rounded. Shares are of 8.8 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 -8.8.

§ 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.
