§ The result
HireVue leads Paradox on all 7 criteria.
HireVue finishes 17 points clear of Paradox under rubric v1.0 — 58 against 41 — across the Video interview and Scheduling cohorts. HireVue leads every one of the 7 criteria, Paradox none of them, and the closest of the 7 is FRIA Support, HireVue 35 to Paradox 25. Bias Audit Transparency is the widest raw gap and the heaviest weighted swing at once (HireVue 80, Paradox 50, 18% weight), but it accounts for only 33% of the weighted advantage HireVue 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 +16.6 — the difference between the two totals before either is rounded. Shares are of 16.6 points of movement counted without direction. The table below rounds each side to a whole number first, so its Δ raw total reads +17 beside that +16.6.

§ 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.
