§ The result
Checkr leads Breezy HR on all 7 criteria.
Checkr sits 11 points above Breezy HR under rubric v1.0 — 54 against 43 — with Checkr filed under Screening and Breezy HR under ATS-integrated. Checkr leads every one of the 7 criteria, Breezy HR none of them, and the closest of the 7 is FRIA Support, Breezy HR 30 to Checkr 32. Article 11 Technical Documentation is the widest raw gap and the heaviest weighted swing at once (Breezy HR 50, Checkr 70, 20% weight), but it accounts for only 37% of the weighted advantage Checkr holds across the 7 criteria on that side of the table.

Weighted delta is the raw difference times the criterion weight, so the 7 figures above sum to -10.7 — the difference between the two totals before either is rounded. Shares are of 10.7 points of movement counted without direction. The table below rounds each side to a whole number first, so its Δ raw total reads -11 beside that -10.7.

§ 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.
