§ The result
Paycom leads Jobvite on 3 of the 7 criteria.
Paycom scores 50 and Jobvite 45 under rubric v1.0 — a 5-point gap inside the ATS-integrated cohort. Paycom leads 3 of the 7 criteria and the remaining 4 are level, so Jobvite is ahead on none of them; the closest of the 3 Paycom leads is Customer Documentation, Jobvite 58 to Paycom 60. Article 11 Technical Documentation is both the widest raw gap and the heaviest weighted swing — Jobvite 50, Paycom 68 — and at a 20% weight it carries 75% of the weighted advantage Paycom holds across the 3 criteria on that side of the table.

Weighted delta is the raw difference times the criterion weight, so the 3 figures above sum to -4.8 — the difference between the two totals before either is rounded. Shares are of 4.8 points of movement counted without direction. The table below rounds each side to a whole number first, so its Δ raw total reads -5 beside that -4.8.

§ 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.
