§ The result
JobAdder leads Emi on all 7 criteria.
JobAdder sits 12 points above Emi under rubric v1.0 — 45 against 33 — with JobAdder filed under ATS-integrated and Emi under Screening. Of the 7 criteria Emi wins none, and the narrowest lead JobAdder holds is on FRIA Support, Emi 25 to JobAdder 30. The advantage JobAdder holds is spread out: Article 11 Technical Documentation is both the widest raw gap and the heaviest weighted swing (Emi 28, JobAdder 50, 20% weight), yet it supplies only 34% of the weighted points JobAdder gains across the 7 criteria it leads.

Weighted delta is the raw difference times the criterion weight, so the 7 figures above sum to -13.0 — the difference between the two totals before either is rounded. Shares are of 13.0 points of movement counted without direction. The table below rounds each side to a whole number first, so its Δ raw total reads -12 beside that -13.0.

§ 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.
