§ The result
Paylocity takes the total, CoderPad takes more of the criteria.
Paylocity holds a 1-point edge over CoderPad under rubric v1.0, 43 to 42, across the ATS-integrated and Assessment cohorts. CoderPad leads more of the criteria, 3 against 2 for Paylocity, yet Paylocity takes Bias Audit Transparency, which carries 18% of the rubric, and the weighted sum with it. Bias Audit Transparency is both the widest raw gap and the heaviest weighted swing — CoderPad 20, Paylocity 33 — and at an 18% weight it carries 89% of the weighted advantage Paylocity holds across the 2 criteria on that side of the table.

Weighted delta is the raw difference times the criterion weight, so the 5 figures above sum to -1.4 — the difference between the two totals before either is rounded. Shares are of 3.9 points of movement counted without direction. The table below rounds each side to a whole number first, so its Δ raw total reads -1 beside that -1.4.

§ 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.
