§ The result
Jobylon leads Cognisess on all 7 criteria.
Jobylon finishes 18 points clear of Cognisess under rubric v1.0 — 48 against 30 — across the ATS-integrated and Assessment cohorts. Jobylon takes all 7 criteria and Cognisess none of them; the nearest contest is Bias Audit Transparency, Cognisess 20 to Jobylon 28. The advantage Jobylon holds is spread out: Article 11 Technical Documentation is both the widest raw gap and the heaviest weighted swing (Cognisess 25, Jobylon 55, 20% weight), yet it supplies only 34% of the weighted points Jobylon gains across the 7 criteria it leads.

Weighted delta is the raw difference times the criterion weight, so the 7 figures above sum to -17.6 — the difference between the two totals before either is rounded. Shares are of 17.6 points of movement counted without direction. The table below rounds each side to a whole number first, so its Δ raw total reads -18 beside that -17.6.

§ 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.
