§ The result
VidCruiter leads Arena Analytics on all 7 criteria.
VidCruiter finishes 16 points clear of Arena Analytics under rubric v1.0 — 48 against 32 — across the Video interview and Screening cohorts. VidCruiter leads every one of the 7 criteria and 3 of them by 20 raw points or more, Article 11 Technical Documentation among them; Arena Analytics leads none. The advantage VidCruiter holds is spread out: Article 11 Technical Documentation is both the widest raw gap and the heaviest weighted swing (Arena Analytics 30, VidCruiter 58, 20% weight), yet it supplies only 34% of the weighted points VidCruiter gains across the 7 criteria it leads.

Weighted delta is the raw difference times the criterion weight, so the 7 figures above sum to -16.3 — the difference between the two totals before either is rounded. Shares are of 16.3 points of movement counted without direction. The table below rounds each side to a whole number first, so its Δ raw total reads -16 beside that -16.3.

§ 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.
