§ The result
Hireology leads Paradox on all 7 criteria.
Hireology finishes 16 points clear of Paradox under rubric v1.0 — 57 against 41 — across the ATS-integrated and Scheduling cohorts. Of the 7 criteria Paradox wins none, and the narrowest lead Hireology holds is on Data Governance Disclosure, Hireology 52 to Paradox 45. The advantage Hireology holds is spread out: Bias Audit Transparency is both the widest raw gap and the heaviest weighted swing (Hireology 83, Paradox 50, 18% weight), yet it supplies only 39% of the weighted points Hireology gains across the 7 criteria it leads.

Weighted delta is the raw difference times the criterion weight, so the 7 figures above sum to +15.3 — the difference between the two totals before either is rounded. Shares are of 15.3 points of movement counted without direction. The table below rounds each side to a whole number first, so its Δ raw total reads +16 beside that +15.3.

§ 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.
