§ The result
Recruitee leads Emi on all 7 criteria.
Under rubric v1.0, Recruitee, filed under ATS-integrated, finishes on 42 and Emi, filed under Screening, on 33, 9 points apart. Recruitee takes all 7 criteria from Emi without a 20-point raw gap on any of them; the closest is FRIA Support, Emi 25 to Recruitee 27. The advantage Recruitee holds is spread out: Article 11 Technical Documentation is both the widest raw gap and the heaviest weighted swing (Emi 28, Recruitee 42, 20% weight), yet it supplies only 29% of the weighted points Recruitee gains across the 7 criteria it leads.

Weighted delta is the raw difference times the criterion weight, so the 7 figures above sum to -9.5 — the difference between the two totals before either is rounded. Shares are of 9.5 points of movement counted without direction. The table below rounds each side to a whole number first, so its Δ raw total reads -9 beside that -9.5.

§ 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.
