§ The result
Teal takes the total, Jobscan takes more of the criteria.
Teal (Tracker) edges Jobscan (Resume AI) by 2 points under rubric js-v1.0, 65 to 63. Jobscan leads more of the criteria than Teal — 4 to 2 — but Data & Credential Safety, which Teal leads, carries 20% of the rubric, and the weighted sum still falls to Teal. Teal takes the heaviest weighted swing, Data & Credential Safety at 20% (Jobscan 52, Teal 68), which is 64% of the weighted advantage Teal holds; the widest raw gap is a different criterion, Pricing & Cancellation Fairness, Jobscan 48 to Teal 66.

Weighted delta is the raw difference times the criterion weight, so the 6 figures above sum to -2.1 — the difference between the two totals before either is rounded. Shares are of 7.9 points of movement counted without direction. The table below rounds each side to a whole number first, so its Δ raw total reads -2 beside that -2.1.

§ 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.
