§ The result
Dayforce leads Ceipal on all 7 criteria.
Dayforce finishes 22 points clear of Ceipal inside the ATS-integrated cohort under rubric v1.0: 57 against 35. Dayforce leads every one of the 7 criteria and 3 of them by 20 raw points or more, Article 11 Technical Documentation among them; Ceipal leads none.

Weighted delta is the raw difference times the criterion weight, so the 7 figures above sum to -22.6 — the difference between the two totals before either is rounded. Shares are of 22.6 points of movement counted without direction. The table below rounds each side to a whole number first, so its Δ raw total reads -22 beside that -22.6.

§ 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.
