§ The result
Enhancv leads VisualCV by 5 points.
Enhancv scores 68 and VisualCV 63 under rubric js-v1.0 — a 5-point gap inside the Resume AI cohort. Enhancv leads 5 of the 7 criteria, including Pricing & Cancellation Fairness, while VisualCV leads 2, including Data & Credential Safety. Pricing & Cancellation Fairness is the widest raw gap and the heaviest weighted swing at once (Enhancv 62, VisualCV 44, 10% weight), but it accounts for only 30% of the weighted advantage Enhancv holds across the 5 criteria on that side of the table.

Weighted delta is the raw difference times the criterion weight, so the 7 figures above sum to +4.5 — the difference between the two totals before either is rounded. Shares are of 7.5 points of movement counted without direction. The table below rounds each side to a whole number first, so its Δ raw total reads +5 beside that +4.5.

§ 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.
