The result
Handshake leads JobDiva on all 7 criteria.
Under rubric v1.0, Handshake (Screening) opens a 21-point lead on JobDiva (ATS-integrated), 50 to 29. Handshake takes all 7 criteria and JobDiva none of them; the nearest contest is FRIA Support, Handshake 30 to JobDiva 22. The advantage Handshake holds is spread out: Bias Audit Transparency is both the widest raw gap and the heaviest weighted swing (Handshake 52, JobDiva 15, 18% weight), yet it supplies only 33% of the weighted points Handshake gains across the 7 criteria it leads.

Weighted delta is the raw difference times the criterion weight, so the 7 figures above sum to +20.5 — the difference between the two totals before either is rounded. Shares are of 20.5 points of movement counted without direction. The table below rounds each side to a whole number first, so its Δ raw total reads +21 beside that +20.5.

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.
