§ The result
3 points separate BambooHR and Cappfinity.
BambooHR (ATS-integrated) edges Cappfinity (Assessment) by 3 points under rubric v1.0, 43 to 40. The 7 criteria split 5 to 1 in favour of BambooHR, with 1 level: BambooHR is ahead on Article 11 Technical Documentation and Cappfinity on Human Oversight Design.
