§ The result
Avature leads RecruitBot on 6 of the 7 criteria.
Avature sits 11 points above RecruitBot under rubric v1.0 — 48 against 37 — with Avature filed under ATS-integrated and RecruitBot under Sourcing. Avature leads 6 of the 7 criteria and the remaining criterion is level, so RecruitBot is ahead on none of them; the closest of the 6 Avature leads is FRIA Support, Avature 32 to RecruitBot 27. Even Article 11 Technical Documentation, the widest raw gap and the heaviest weighted swing (Avature 55, RecruitBot 33, 20% weight), is only 38% of the weighted advantage Avature builds across the 6 criteria it leads.

Weighted delta is the raw difference times the criterion weight, so the 6 figures above sum to +11.5 — the difference between the two totals before either is rounded. Shares are of 11.5 points of movement counted without direction. The table below rounds each side to a whole number first, so its Δ raw total reads +11 beside that +11.5.

§ 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.
