§ The result
HireVue takes the total, Tenzo AI takes more of the criteria.
HireVue (Video interview) edges Tenzo AI (Screening) by 2 points under rubric v1.0, 58 to 56. Tenzo AI leads more of the criteria than HireVue — 3 to 1 — but Article 11 Technical Documentation, which HireVue leads, carries 20% of the rubric, and the weighted sum still falls to HireVue. One criterion, Article 11 Technical Documentation, is both the widest raw gap (HireVue 65, Tenzo AI 45) and the heaviest weighted swing, and at 20% weight it makes up 100% of the weighted advantage HireVue holds across the 1 criterion it leads.

Weighted delta is the raw difference times the criterion weight, so the 4 figures above sum to +2.1 — the difference between the two totals before either is rounded. Shares are of 5.8 points of movement counted without direction. The table below rounds each side to a whole number first, so its Δ raw total reads +2 beside that +2.1.

§ 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.
