§ The result
Gloat leads Paycor on all 7 criteria.
Gloat scores 47 and Paycor 40 under rubric v1.0, a 7-point gap across the Sourcing and ATS-integrated cohorts. Gloat is ahead of Paycor on all 7 criteria but on none of them by as much as 20 raw points, the closest being FRIA Support at Gloat 28 to Paycor 27. The advantage Gloat holds is spread out: Bias Audit Transparency is both the widest raw gap and the heaviest weighted swing (Gloat 38, Paycor 25, 18% weight), yet it supplies only 33% of the weighted points Gloat gains across the 7 criteria it leads.

Weighted delta is the raw difference times the criterion weight, so the 7 figures above sum to +7.2 — the difference between the two totals before either is rounded. Shares are of 7.2 points of movement counted without direction. The table below rounds each side to a whole number first, so its Δ raw total reads +7 beside that +7.2.

§ 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.
