§ The result
HireVue leads Paycor on 6 of the 7 criteria.
Under rubric v1.0, HireVue (Video interview) opens an 18-point lead on Paycor (ATS-integrated), 58 to 40. Paycor is ahead on none of the 7 criteria: HireVue takes 6, the remaining criterion is level, and the nearest of those 6 is Data Governance Disclosure, HireVue 55 to Paycor 50. Bias Audit Transparency is both the widest raw gap and the heaviest weighted swing — HireVue 80, Paycor 25 — and at an 18% weight it carries 54% of the weighted advantage HireVue holds across the 6 criteria on that side of the table.

Weighted delta is the raw difference times the criterion weight, so the 6 figures above sum to +18.3 — the difference between the two totals before either is rounded. Shares are of 18.3 points of movement counted without direction. The table below rounds each side to a whole number first, so its Δ raw total reads +18 beside that +18.3.

§ 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.
