§ The result
Employment Hero leads Cappfinity on all 7 criteria.
Under rubric v1.0, Employment Hero, filed under Screening, finishes on 48 and Cappfinity, filed under Assessment, on 40, 8 points apart. Employment Hero takes all 7 criteria from Cappfinity without a 20-point raw gap on any of them; the closest is FRIA Support, Cappfinity 28 to Employment Hero 32. Article 11 Technical Documentation is the widest raw gap and the heaviest weighted swing at once (Cappfinity 36, Employment Hero 50, 20% weight), but it accounts for only 33% of the weighted advantage Employment Hero holds across the 7 criteria on that side of the table.

Weighted delta is the raw difference times the criterion weight, so the 7 figures above sum to -8.4 — the difference between the two totals before either is rounded. Shares are of 8.4 points of movement counted without direction. The table below rounds each side to a whole number first, so its Δ raw total reads -8 beside that -8.4.
