§ The result
Vincere takes the total, BambooHR takes more of the criteria.
Under rubric v1.0, Vincere and BambooHR finish 1 point apart, 44 to 43, as two ATS-integrated entries. BambooHR leads more of the criteria, 4 against 3 for Vincere, yet Vincere takes Article 11 Technical Documentation, which carries 20% of the rubric, and the weighted sum with it. Article 11 Technical Documentation is both the widest raw gap and the heaviest weighted swing — BambooHR 42, Vincere 55 — and at a 20% weight it carries 68% of the weighted advantage Vincere holds across the 3 criteria on that side of the table.

Weighted delta is the raw difference times the criterion weight, so the 7 figures above sum to -1.2 — the difference between the two totals before either is rounded. Shares are of 6.4 points of movement counted without direction. The table below rounds each side to a whole number first, so its Δ raw total reads -1 beside that -1.2.

§ 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.
