§ The result
Classet leads Personio on all 7 criteria.
Under rubric v1.0, Classet (Screening) opens a 15-point lead on Personio (ATS-integrated), 55 to 40. Classet takes all 7 criteria and Personio none of them; the nearest contest is FRIA Support, Classet 33 to Personio 30. Bias Audit Transparency is both the widest raw gap and the heaviest weighted swing — Classet 76, Personio 25 — and at an 18% weight it carries 63% of the weighted advantage Classet 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 +14.6 — the difference between the two totals before either is rounded. Shares are of 14.6 points of movement counted without direction. The table below rounds each side to a whole number first, so its Δ raw total reads +15 beside that +14.6.

§ 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.
