§ The result
Rippling leads Humanly on all 7 criteria.
Rippling sits 14 points above Humanly under rubric v1.0 — 56 against 42 — with Rippling filed under ATS-integrated and Humanly under Screening. Rippling leads every one of the 7 criteria, Humanly none of them, and the closest of the 7 is Bias Audit Transparency, Humanly 40 to Rippling 42. Article 11 Technical Documentation is the widest raw gap and the heaviest weighted swing at once (Humanly 45, Rippling 73, 20% weight), but it accounts for only 39% of the weighted advantage Rippling 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 -14.3 — the difference between the two totals before either is rounded. Shares are of 14.3 points of movement counted without direction. The table below rounds each side to a whole number first, so its Δ raw total reads -14 beside that -14.3.

§ 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.
