§ The result
Breezy HR leads XOR on all 7 criteria.
Breezy HR sits 13 points above XOR under rubric v1.0 — 43 against 30 — with Breezy HR filed under ATS-integrated and XOR under Screening. Breezy HR leads every one of the 7 criteria, XOR none of them, and the closest of the 7 is FRIA Support, Breezy HR 30 to XOR 25. Article 11 Technical Documentation is both the widest raw gap and the heaviest weighted swing — Breezy HR 50, XOR 20 — and at a 20% weight it carries 46% of the weighted advantage Breezy HR holds across the 7 criteria on that side of the table.
Vendor profile

Weighted delta is the raw difference times the criterion weight, so the 7 figures above sum to +13.2 — the difference between the two totals before either is rounded. Shares are of 13.2 points of movement counted without direction. The table below rounds each side to a whole number first, so its Δ raw total reads +13 beside that +13.2.

§ 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.
