§ The result
Huru takes the total, VisualCV takes more of the criteria.
Huru (Career coaching) edges VisualCV (Resume AI) by 1 point under rubric js-v1.0, 64 to 63. VisualCV leads more of the criteria than Huru — 4 to 3 — but Application Honesty, which Huru leads, carries 20% of the rubric, and the weighted sum still falls to Huru. The widest raw gap and the heaviest weighted swing fall on different criteria: Pricing & Cancellation Fairness (Huru 60, VisualCV 44) and Application Honesty at 20% (Huru 70, VisualCV 62), the second being 36% of the weighted advantage Huru holds across the 3 criteria on that side of the table.

Weighted delta is the raw difference times the criterion weight, so the 7 figures above sum to +1.1 — the difference between the two totals before either is rounded. Shares are of 7.7 points of movement counted without direction. The table below rounds each side to a whole number first, so its Δ raw total reads +1 beside that +1.1.

§ 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.
