§ The result
Careerflow leads Final Round AI on all 7 criteria.
Careerflow finishes 24 points clear of Final Round AI under rubric js-v1.0 — 60 (D) against 36 (F) — across the Career coaching and Live interview cohorts. Careerflow leads every one of the 7 criteria and 5 of them by 20 raw points or more, Employer & ATS Legitimacy among them; Final Round AI leads none. Employer & ATS Legitimacy is the widest raw gap and the heaviest weighted swing at once (Careerflow 66, Final Round AI 20, 15% weight), but it accounts for only 28% of the weighted advantage Careerflow 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 +24.7 — the difference between the two totals before either is rounded. Shares are of 24.7 points of movement counted without direction. The table below rounds each side to a whole number first, so its Δ raw total reads +24 beside that +24.7.

§ 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.
