§ The result
Jobscan leads LazyApply on all 7 criteria.
Rubric js-v1.0 puts 26 points between Jobscan (Resume AI) and LazyApply (Auto-apply): 63 (D) for Jobscan, 37 (F) for LazyApply. Jobscan leads every one of the 7 criteria and 4 of them by 20 raw points or more, Employer & ATS Legitimacy among them; LazyApply leads none. Employer & ATS Legitimacy is the widest raw gap and the heaviest weighted swing at once (Jobscan 75, LazyApply 25, 15% weight), but it accounts for only 29% of the weighted advantage Jobscan 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 +26.1 — the difference between the two totals before either is rounded. Shares are of 26.1 points of movement counted without direction. The table below rounds each side to a whole number first, so its Δ raw total reads +26 beside that +26.1.

§ 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.
