§ The result
JobAdder leads Pulsifi by 12 points.
JobAdder sits 12 points above Pulsifi under rubric v1.0 — 45 against 33 — with JobAdder filed under ATS-integrated and Pulsifi under Assessment. JobAdder leads 6 of the 7 criteria, including Article 11 Technical Documentation, while Pulsifi leads 1, including Human Oversight Design. The advantage JobAdder holds is spread out: Article 11 Technical Documentation is both the widest raw gap and the heaviest weighted swing (JobAdder 50, Pulsifi 30, 20% weight), yet it supplies only 32% of the weighted points JobAdder gains across the 6 criteria it leads.

Shares are of 12.7 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 +12.5.

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.
