§ The result
Bullhorn leads Pulsifi on all 7 criteria.
Under rubric v1.0, Bullhorn (ATS-integrated) opens a 21-point lead on Pulsifi (Assessment), 54 to 33. Pulsifi leads none of the 7 criteria, and Bullhorn is ahead on 3 of them by 20 raw points or more, Bias Audit Transparency among them. The advantage Bullhorn holds is spread out: Bias Audit Transparency is both the widest raw gap and the heaviest weighted swing (Bullhorn 58, Pulsifi 20, 18% weight), yet it supplies only 33% of the weighted points Bullhorn gains across the 7 criteria it leads.

Weighted delta is the raw difference times the criterion weight, so the 7 figures above sum to +20.8 — the difference between the two totals before either is rounded. Shares are of 20.8 points of movement counted without direction. The table below rounds each side to a whole number first, so its Δ raw total reads +21 beside that +20.8.

§ 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.
