§ The result
Jobma leads impress.ai on all 7 criteria.
Jobma sits 11 points above impress.ai under rubric v1.0 — 49 against 38 — with Jobma filed under Video interview and impress.ai under Screening. Jobma leads every one of the 7 criteria, impress.ai none of them, and the closest of the 7 is Data Governance Disclosure, impress.ai 55 to Jobma 56. Article 11 Technical Documentation is the widest raw gap and the heaviest weighted swing at once (impress.ai 35, Jobma 55, 20% weight), but it accounts for only 34% of the weighted advantage Jobma holds across the 7 criteria on that side of the table.

Shares are of 11.6 points of movement counted without direction. The table below rounds each side to a whole number first, so its Δ raw total reads -11 beside that -11.6.
