§ The result
Crosschq leads Zappyhire on all 7 criteria.
Crosschq sits 13 points above Zappyhire under rubric v1.0, 47 against 34, with both filed under Screening. Crosschq leads every one of the 7 criteria, Zappyhire none of them, and the closest of the 7 is FRIA Support, Crosschq 30 to Zappyhire 25. Article 11 Technical Documentation is the widest raw gap and the heaviest weighted swing at once (Crosschq 50, Zappyhire 30, 20% weight), but it accounts for only 30% of the weighted advantage Crosschq holds across the 7 criteria on that side of the table.
