§ The result
Jobma leads BambooHR on 4 of the 7 criteria.
Jobma scores 49 and BambooHR 43 under rubric v1.0, a 6-point gap across the Video interview and ATS-integrated cohorts. Jobma leads 4 of the 7 criteria and the remaining 3 are level, so BambooHR is ahead on none of them; the closest of the 4 Jobma leads is FRIA Support, BambooHR 34 to Jobma 35. Article 11 Technical Documentation is both the widest raw gap and the heaviest weighted swing — BambooHR 42, Jobma 55 — and at a 20% weight it carries 43% of the weighted advantage Jobma holds across the 4 criteria on that side of the table.

Weighted delta is the raw difference times the criterion weight, so the 4 figures above sum to -6.1 — the difference between the two totals before either is rounded. Shares are of 6.1 points of movement counted without direction. The table below rounds each side to a whole number first, so its Δ raw total reads -6 beside that -6.1.
