§ The result
VisualCV leads Final Round AI on all 7 criteria.
Rubric js-v1.0 puts 27 points between VisualCV (Resume AI) and Final Round AI (Live interview): 63 (D) for VisualCV, 36 (F) for Final Round AI. VisualCV leads every one of the 7 criteria and 3 of them by 20 raw points or more, Employer & ATS Legitimacy among them; Final Round AI leads none. Employer & ATS Legitimacy is the widest raw gap and the heaviest weighted swing at once (Final Round AI 20, VisualCV 74, 15% weight), but it accounts for only 30% of the weighted advantage VisualCV holds across the 7 criteria on that side of the table.

Weighted delta is the raw difference times the criterion weight, so the 7 figures above sum to -27.4 — the difference between the two totals before either is rounded. Shares are of 27.4 points of movement counted without direction. The table below rounds each side to a whole number first, so its Δ raw total reads -27 beside that -27.4.

§ 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.
