§ The result
Dayforce leads CoderPad on all 7 criteria.
Dayforce finishes 15 points clear of CoderPad under rubric v1.0 — 57 against 42 — across the ATS-integrated and Assessment cohorts. Of the 7 criteria CoderPad wins none, and the narrowest lead Dayforce holds is on Post-Market Monitoring, CoderPad 44 to Dayforce 47. Even Article 11 Technical Documentation, the widest raw gap and the heaviest weighted swing (CoderPad 45, Dayforce 74, 20% weight), is only 37% of the weighted advantage Dayforce builds across the 7 criteria it leads.

Weighted delta is the raw difference times the criterion weight, so the 7 figures above sum to -15.6 — the difference between the two totals before either is rounded. Shares are of 15.6 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 -15.6.

§ 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.
