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. The advantage Gloat holds is spread out: Article 11 Technical Documentation is both the widest raw gap and the heaviest weighted swing (Gloat 48, Zappyhire 30, 20% weight), yet it supplies only 28% 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 +12.7 — the difference between the two totals before either is rounded. Shares are of 12.7 points of movement counted without direction. The table below rounds each side to a whole number first, so its Δ raw total reads +13 beside that +12.7.

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.
