§ The result
Avionté leads ZipRecruiter by 5 points.
Under rubric v1.0, Avionté, filed under ATS-integrated, finishes on 45 and ZipRecruiter, filed under Sourcing, on 40, 5 points apart. ZipRecruiter takes 1 of the 7 criteria, Bias Audit Transparency among them, against 6 for Avionté, whose share includes Article 11 Technical Documentation.

Shares are of 5.8 points of movement counted without direction. The table below rounds each side to a whole number first, so its Δ raw total reads +5 beside that +5.1.
