§ The result
Dayforce leads TestDome on all 7 criteria.
Under rubric v1.0, Dayforce (ATS-integrated) opens a 20-point lead on TestDome (Assessment), 57 to 37. Dayforce takes all 7 criteria and TestDome none of them; the nearest contest is Customer Documentation, Dayforce 70 to TestDome 60. Even Article 11 Technical Documentation, the widest raw gap and the heaviest weighted swing (Dayforce 74, TestDome 40, 20% weight), is only 34% of the weighted advantage Dayforce builds across the 7 criteria it leads.

Weighted delta is the raw difference times the criterion weight, so the 7 figures above sum to +20.2 — the difference between the two totals before either is rounded. Shares are of 20.2 points of movement counted without direction. The table below rounds each side to a whole number first, so its Δ raw total reads +20 beside that +20.2.

§ 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.
