§ The result
Breezy HR takes the total, hireEZ takes more of the criteria.
Breezy HR (ATS-integrated) edges hireEZ (Sourcing) by 1 point under rubric v1.0, 43 to 42. hireEZ leads more of the criteria than Breezy HR — 3 to 2 — but Article 11 Technical Documentation, which Breezy HR leads, carries 20% of the rubric, and the weighted sum still falls to Breezy HR. Article 11 Technical Documentation is both the widest raw gap and the heaviest weighted swing — Breezy HR 50, hireEZ 38 — and at a 20% weight it carries 76% of the weighted advantage Breezy HR holds across the 2 criteria on that side of the table.

Weighted delta is the raw difference times the criterion weight, so the 5 figures above sum to +1.1 — the difference between the two totals before either is rounded. Shares are of 5.2 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 +1.1.
