§ The result
Factorial leads Breezy HR on 6 of the 7 criteria.
Factorial holds a 3-point edge over Breezy HR under rubric v1.0, 46 to 43, with both scored in the ATS-integrated cohort. Factorial leads 6 of the 7 criteria and the remaining criterion is level, so Breezy HR is ahead on none of them; the closest of the 6 Factorial leads is Article 11 Technical Documentation, Breezy HR 50 to Factorial 52. Post-Market Monitoring is the widest raw gap and the heaviest weighted swing at once (Breezy HR 38, Factorial 48, 12% weight), but it accounts for only 38% of the weighted advantage Factorial holds across the 6 criteria on that side of the table.

Weighted delta is the raw difference times the criterion weight, so the 6 figures above sum to -3.2 — the difference between the two totals before either is rounded. Shares are of 3.2 points of movement counted without direction. The table below rounds each side to a whole number first, so its Δ raw total reads -3 beside that -3.2.

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.
