§ The result
HiredScore leads Pulsifi on all 7 criteria.
Under rubric v1.0, HiredScore (Sourcing) opens a 19-point lead on Pulsifi (Assessment), 52 to 33. Of the 7 criteria Pulsifi wins none, and the narrowest lead HiredScore holds is on FRIA Support, HiredScore 30 to Pulsifi 25. Article 11 Technical Documentation is the widest raw gap and the heaviest weighted swing at once (HiredScore 65, Pulsifi 30, 20% weight), but it accounts for only 37% of the weighted advantage HiredScore holds across the 7 criteria on that side of the table.

Weighted delta is the raw difference times the criterion weight, so the 7 figures above sum to +18.9 — the difference between the two totals before either is rounded. Shares are of 18.9 points of movement counted without direction. The table below rounds each side to a whole number first, so its Δ raw total reads +19 beside that +18.9.

§ 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.
