§ The result
Jobscan leads Verve AI on 6 of the 7 criteria.
Rubric js-v1.0 puts 34 points between Jobscan (Resume AI) and Verve AI (Live interview): 63 (D) for Jobscan, 29 (F) for Verve AI. Jobscan leads 6 of the 7 criteria and the remaining criterion is level, so Verve AI is ahead on none of them; the closest of the 6 Jobscan leads is Data & Credential Safety, Jobscan 52 to Verve AI 38. User Control & Transparency is the widest raw gap and the heaviest weighted swing at once (Jobscan 78, Verve AI 18, 15% weight), but it accounts for only 27% of the weighted advantage Jobscan holds across the 6 criteria on that side of the table.

§ 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.
