§ The result
Criteria leads VidCruiter by 5 points.
Criteria scores 53 and VidCruiter 48 under rubric v1.0, a 5-point gap across the Assessment and Video interview cohorts. Criteria leads 4 of the 7 criteria, including Article 11 Technical Documentation, while VidCruiter leads 1, including Human Oversight Design, and 2 are level. Article 11 Technical Documentation is the widest raw gap and the heaviest weighted swing at once (Criteria 68, VidCruiter 58, 20% weight), but it accounts for only 35% of the weighted advantage Criteria holds across the 4 criteria on that side of the table.

Weighted delta is the raw difference times the criterion weight, so the 5 figures above sum to +5.1 — the difference between the two totals before either is rounded. Shares are of 6.5 points of movement counted without direction. The table below rounds each side to a whole number first, so its Δ raw total reads +5 beside that +5.1.

§ 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.
