§ The result
Recruitly leads Emi by 8 points.
Recruitly scores 41 and Emi 33 under rubric v1.0, an 8-point gap across the ATS-integrated and Screening cohorts. The 7 criteria split 6 to 1 in favour of Recruitly: Recruitly is ahead on Article 11 Technical Documentation and Emi on Bias Audit Transparency.

Weighted delta is the raw difference times the criterion weight, so the 7 figures above sum to -8.4 — 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 -8 beside that -8.4.
