§ The result
JobAdder leads Keka on 6 of the 7 criteria.
Inside the ATS-integrated cohort, rubric v1.0 puts JobAdder on 45 and Keka on 37, 8 points apart. JobAdder leads 6 of the 7 criteria and the remaining criterion is level, so Keka is ahead on none of them; the closest of the 6 JobAdder leads is Post-Market Monitoring, JobAdder 43 to Keka 40. One criterion, Article 11 Technical Documentation, is both the widest raw gap (JobAdder 50, Keka 30) and the heaviest weighted swing, and at 20% weight it makes up 46% of the weighted advantage JobAdder holds across the 6 criteria it leads.

Weighted delta is the raw difference times the criterion weight, so the 6 figures above sum to +8.7 — the difference between the two totals before either is rounded. Shares are of 8.7 points of movement counted without direction. The table below rounds each side to a whole number first, so its Δ raw total reads +8 beside that +8.7.

§ 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.
