§ The result
VidCruiter leads BambooHR by 5 points.
VidCruiter scores 48 and BambooHR 43 under rubric v1.0, a 5-point gap across the Video interview and ATS-integrated cohorts. BambooHR and VidCruiter each lead 3 of the 7 criteria, with 1 level, though the side of the split VidCruiter holds (headed by Article 11 Technical Documentation) adds up to more weighted points. Article 11 Technical Documentation is both the widest raw gap and the heaviest weighted swing — BambooHR 42, VidCruiter 58 — and at a 20% weight it carries 50% of the weighted advantage VidCruiter holds across the 3 criteria on that side of the table.

Weighted delta is the raw difference times the criterion weight, so the 6 figures above sum to -4.7 — the difference between the two totals before either is rounded. Shares are of 8.2 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 -4.7.

§ 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.
