§ The result
Pinpoint leads JobAdder on all 7 criteria.
Both filed under ATS-integrated, Pinpoint and JobAdder come out 57 and 45 under rubric v1.0, 12 points in favour of Pinpoint. Of the 7 criteria JobAdder wins none, and the narrowest lead Pinpoint holds is on Bias Audit Transparency, JobAdder 35 to Pinpoint 42. Article 11 Technical Documentation is the widest raw gap and the heaviest weighted swing at once (JobAdder 50, Pinpoint 72, 20% weight), but it accounts for only 38% of the weighted advantage Pinpoint holds across the 7 criteria on that side of the table.

Weighted delta is the raw difference times the criterion weight, so the 7 figures above sum to -11.6 — the difference between the two totals before either is rounded. 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 -12 beside that -11.6.

§ 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.
