§ The result
Codility leads Paylocity on all 7 criteria.
Codility sits 11 points above Paylocity under rubric v1.0 — 54 against 43 — with Codility filed under Assessment and Paylocity under ATS-integrated. Codility is ahead of Paylocity on all 7 criteria but on none of them by as much as 20 raw points, the closest being Data Governance Disclosure at Codility 57 to Paylocity 54. Article 11 Technical Documentation is the widest raw gap and the heaviest weighted swing at once (Codility 60, Paylocity 44, 20% weight), but it accounts for only 30% of the weighted advantage Codility 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 +10.7 — the difference between the two totals before either is rounded. Shares are of 10.7 points of movement counted without direction. The table below rounds each side to a whole number first, so its Δ raw total reads +11 beside that +10.7.

§ 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.
