§ The result
Workable leads impress.ai by 10 points.
Workable sits 10 points above impress.ai under rubric v1.0 — 48 against 38 — with Workable filed under ATS-integrated and impress.ai under Screening. Workable leads 5 of the 7 criteria, including Article 11 Technical Documentation, while impress.ai leads 1, including Customer Documentation, and 1 is level. Article 11 Technical Documentation is the widest raw gap and the heaviest weighted swing at once (impress.ai 35, Workable 55, 20% weight), but it accounts for only 38% of the weighted advantage Workable holds across the 5 criteria on that side of the table.

Shares are of 10.6 points of movement counted without direction. The table below rounds each side to a whole number first, so its Δ raw total reads -10 beside that -10.3.
