§ The result
Dayforce leads HiBob on 6 of the 7 criteria.
Rubric v1.0 scores the ATS-integrated entries Dayforce and HiBob at 57 and 46, a gap of 11 points. Dayforce leads 6 of the 7 criteria and the remaining criterion is level, so HiBob is ahead on none of them; the closest of the 6 Dayforce leads is FRIA Support, Dayforce 40 to HiBob 35. Even Bias Audit Transparency, the widest raw gap and the heaviest weighted swing (Dayforce 42, HiBob 20, 18% weight), is only 37% of the weighted advantage Dayforce builds across the 6 criteria it leads.

Weighted delta is the raw difference times the criterion weight, so the 6 figures above sum to +10.7 — the difference between the two totals before either is rounded. Shares are of 10.7 points of movement counted without direction. The table below rounds each side to a whole number first, so its Δ raw total reads +11 beside that +10.7.

§ 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.
