§ The result
JobAdder leads Canditech on 5 of the 7 criteria.
Under rubric v1.0, JobAdder, filed under ATS-integrated, finishes on 45 and Canditech, filed under Assessment, on 39, 6 points apart. Canditech is ahead on none of the 7 criteria: JobAdder takes 5, the remaining 2 are level, and the nearest of those 5 is Human Oversight Design, Canditech 53 to JobAdder 54. Article 11 Technical Documentation is both the widest raw gap and the heaviest weighted swing — Canditech 37, JobAdder 50 — and at a 20% weight it carries 40% of the weighted advantage JobAdder holds across the 5 criteria on that side of the table.

Weighted delta is the raw difference times the criterion weight, so the 5 figures above sum to -6.4 — the difference between the two totals before either is rounded. Shares are of 6.4 points of movement counted without direction. The table below rounds each side to a whole number first, so its Δ raw total reads -6 beside that -6.4.
