§ The result
JazzHR leads impress.ai by 6 points.
JazzHR scores 44 and impress.ai 38 under rubric v1.0, a 6-point gap across the ATS-integrated and Screening cohorts. JazzHR leads 5 of the 7 criteria, including Bias Audit Transparency, while impress.ai leads 2, including Data Governance Disclosure. Bias Audit Transparency is the widest raw gap and the heaviest weighted swing at once (impress.ai 22, JazzHR 35, 18% weight), but it accounts for only 35% of the weighted advantage JazzHR holds across the 5 criteria on that side of the table.

Weighted delta is the raw difference times the criterion weight, so the 7 figures above sum to -6.1 — the difference between the two totals before either is rounded. Shares are of 7.3 points of movement counted without direction. The table below rounds each side to a whole number first, so its Δ raw total reads -6 beside that -6.1.
