§ The result
Cornerstone OnDemand leads Pulsifi on 6 of the 7 criteria.
Under rubric v1.0, Cornerstone OnDemand (ATS-integrated) opens a 23-point lead on Pulsifi (Assessment), 56 to 33. Pulsifi is ahead on none of the 7 criteria: Cornerstone OnDemand takes 6, the remaining criterion is level, and the nearest of those 6 is FRIA Support, Cornerstone OnDemand 35 to Pulsifi 25. The advantage Cornerstone OnDemand holds is spread out: Article 11 Technical Documentation is both the widest raw gap and the heaviest weighted swing (Cornerstone OnDemand 72, Pulsifi 30, 20% weight), yet it supplies only 37% of the weighted points Cornerstone OnDemand gains across the 6 criteria it leads.
