§ The result
HighMatch takes the total, Manatal takes more of the criteria.
HighMatch (Assessment) edges Manatal (ATS-integrated) by 2 points under rubric v1.0, 43 to 41. Manatal leads more of the criteria than HighMatch — 3 to 2 — but Article 11 Technical Documentation, which HighMatch leads, carries 20% of the rubric, and the weighted sum still falls to HighMatch. One criterion, Article 11 Technical Documentation, is both the widest raw gap (HighMatch 45, Manatal 33) and the heaviest weighted swing, and at 20% weight it makes up 63% of the weighted advantage HighMatch holds across the 2 criteria it leads.

Weighted delta is the raw difference times the criterion weight, so the 5 figures above sum to +2.7 — the difference between the two totals before either is rounded. Shares are of 5.0 points of movement counted without direction. The table below rounds each side to a whole number first, so its Δ raw total reads +2 beside that +2.7.
