§ The result
JobAdder leads Recruiterflow by 9 points.
JobAdder scores 45 and Recruiterflow 36 under rubric v1.0 — a 9-point gap inside the ATS-integrated cohort. The 7 criteria split 5 to 1 in favour of JobAdder, with 1 level: JobAdder is ahead on Article 11 Technical Documentation and Recruiterflow on 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, Recruiterflow 33, 20% weight), yet it supplies only 35% of the weighted points JobAdder gains across the 5 criteria it leads.

Weighted delta is the raw difference times the criterion weight, so the 6 figures above sum to +9.1 — the difference between the two totals before either is rounded. Shares are of 10.1 points of movement counted without direction. The table below rounds each side to a whole number first, so its Δ raw total reads +9 beside that +9.1.

§ 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.
