§ The result
VidCruiter leads Emi by 15 points.
VidCruiter finishes 15 points clear of Emi under rubric v1.0 — 48 against 33 — across the Video interview and Screening cohorts. VidCruiter leads 6 of the 7 criteria, including Article 11 Technical Documentation, while Emi leads 1, including Post-Market Monitoring. The advantage VidCruiter holds is spread out: Article 11 Technical Documentation is both the widest raw gap and the heaviest weighted swing (Emi 28, VidCruiter 58, 20% weight), yet it supplies only 39% of the weighted points VidCruiter gains across the 6 criteria it leads.

Weighted delta is the raw difference times the criterion weight, so the 7 figures above sum to -15.3 — the difference between the two totals before either is rounded. Shares are of 15.8 points of movement counted without direction. The table below rounds each side to a whole number first, so its Δ raw total reads -15 beside that -15.3.

§ 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.
