§ The result
ConverzAI takes the total, Personio takes more of the criteria.
ConverzAI holds a 4-point edge over Personio under rubric v1.0, 44 to 40, across the Screening and ATS-integrated cohorts. Personio leads more of the criteria, 4 against 2 for ConverzAI, yet ConverzAI 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 — ConverzAI 72, Personio 25 — and at an 18% weight it carries 97% of the weighted advantage ConverzAI holds across the 2 criteria on that side of the table.

Shares are of 13.3 points of movement counted without direction. The table below rounds each side to a whole number first, so its Δ raw total reads +4 beside that +4.1.

§ 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.
