§ The result
ConverzAI takes the total, Paylocity takes more of the criteria.
ConverzAI (Screening) edges Paylocity (ATS-integrated) by 1 point under rubric v1.0, 44 to 43. Paylocity leads more of the criteria than ConverzAI — 4 to 2 — but Bias Audit Transparency, which ConverzAI leads, carries 18% of the rubric, and the weighted sum still falls to ConverzAI. One criterion, Bias Audit Transparency, is both the widest raw gap (ConverzAI 72, Paylocity 33) and the heaviest weighted swing, and at 18% weight it makes up 88% of the weighted advantage ConverzAI holds across the 2 criteria it leads.

0.6 weighted points to Paylocity
Weighted delta is the raw difference times the criterion weight, so the 6 figures above sum to +1.4 — the difference between the two totals before either is rounded. Shares are of 14.5 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.
