§ The result
Cegid leads Zoho Recruit on 5 of the 7 criteria.
Under rubric v1.0, Cegid and Zoho Recruit finish 3 points apart, 45 to 42, as two ATS-integrated entries. Cegid leads 5 of the 7 criteria and the remaining 2 are level, so Zoho Recruit is ahead on none of them; the closest of the 5 Cegid leads is FRIA Support, Cegid 32 to Zoho Recruit 30. Even Bias Audit Transparency, the widest raw gap and the heaviest weighted swing (Cegid 30, Zoho Recruit 24, 18% weight), is only 34% of the weighted advantage Cegid builds across the 5 criteria it leads.

Weighted delta is the raw difference times the criterion weight, so the 5 figures above sum to +3.1 — the difference between the two totals before either is rounded. Shares are of 3.1 points of movement counted without direction. The table below rounds each side to a whole number first, so its Δ raw total reads +3 beside that +3.1.

§ 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.
