§ The result
Gloat leads Zappyhire on all 7 criteria.
Gloat sits 13 points above Zappyhire under rubric v1.0 — 47 against 34 — with Gloat filed under Sourcing and Zappyhire under Screening. Gloat is ahead of Zappyhire 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 Zappyhire 25. Article 11 Technical Documentation is the widest raw gap and the heaviest weighted swing at once (Gloat 48, Zappyhire 30, 20% weight), but it accounts for only 28% of the weighted advantage Gloat holds across the 7 criteria on that side of the table.
