§ The result
Dayforce leads Recruiterflow on all 7 criteria.
Under rubric v1.0, Dayforce opens a 21-point lead on Recruiterflow, 57 to 36, with both scored in the ATS-integrated cohort. Dayforce takes all 7 criteria and Recruiterflow none of them; the nearest contest is FRIA Support, Dayforce 40 to Recruiterflow 30. The advantage Dayforce holds is spread out: Article 11 Technical Documentation is both the widest raw gap and the heaviest weighted swing (Dayforce 74, Recruiterflow 33, 20% weight), yet it supplies only 39% of the weighted points Dayforce gains across the 7 criteria it leads.

1.1 weighted points to Dayforce
Weighted delta is the raw difference times the criterion weight, so the 7 figures above sum to +20.9 — the difference between the two totals before either is rounded. Shares are of 20.9 points of movement counted without direction. The table below rounds each side to a whole number first, so its Δ raw total reads +21 beside that +20.9.

§ 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.
