§ The result
Avature leads HeroHunt.ai on all 7 criteria.
Under rubric v1.0, Avature (ATS-integrated) opens an 18-point lead on HeroHunt.ai (Sourcing), 48 to 30. Avature leads every one of the 7 criteria, HeroHunt.ai none of them, and the closest of the 7 is FRIA Support, Avature 32 to HeroHunt.ai 27. The advantage Avature holds is spread out: Article 11 Technical Documentation is both the widest raw gap and the heaviest weighted swing (Avature 55, HeroHunt.ai 20, 20% weight), yet it supplies only 39% of the weighted points Avature gains across the 7 criteria it leads.

Weighted delta is the raw difference times the criterion weight, so the 7 figures above sum to +18.1 — the difference between the two totals before either is rounded. Shares are of 18.1 points of movement counted without direction. The table below rounds each side to a whole number first, so its Δ raw total reads +18 beside that +18.1.

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.
