Eightfold AI scores 64 (D) and Pinpoint 57 (F) under rubric v1.0, a 7-point gap across the Sourcing and ATS-integrated cohorts. Pinpoint leads more of the criteria than Eightfold AI — 4 to 3 — but Bias Audit Transparency, which Eightfold AI leads, carries 18% of the rubric, and the weighted sum still falls to Eightfold AI. Bias Audit Transparency is both the widest raw gap and the heaviest weighted swing — Eightfold AI 85, Pinpoint 42 — and at an 18% weight it carries 82% of the weighted advantage Eightfold AI holds across the 3 criteria on that side of the table.

Weighted delta is the raw difference times the criterion weight, so the 7 figures above sum to +7.0 — the difference between the two totals before either is rounded. Shares are of 11.8 points of movement counted without direction. The table below rounds each side to a whole number first, so its Δ raw total reads +7 beside that +7.0.

§ 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.
