§ The result
HighMatch takes the total, Recruit CRM takes more of the criteria.
HighMatch holds a 3-point edge over Recruit CRM under rubric v1.0, 43 to 40, across the Assessment and ATS-integrated cohorts. Recruit CRM leads more of the criteria, 4 against 3 for HighMatch, yet HighMatch takes Article 11 Technical Documentation, which carries 20% of the rubric, and the weighted sum with it. Article 11 Technical Documentation is both the widest raw gap and the heaviest weighted swing — HighMatch 45, Recruit CRM 34 — and at a 20% weight it carries 52% of the weighted advantage HighMatch holds across the 3 criteria on that side of the table.

Weighted delta is the raw difference times the criterion weight, so the 7 figures above sum to +2.9 — the difference between the two totals before either is rounded. Shares are of 5.5 points of movement counted without direction. The table below rounds each side to a whole number first, so its Δ raw total reads +3 beside that +2.9.
