§ The result
Jobylon leads Paycor on all 7 criteria.
Inside the ATS-integrated cohort, rubric v1.0 puts Jobylon on 48 and Paycor on 40, 8 points apart. Jobylon is ahead of Paycor on all 7 criteria but on none of them by as much as 20 raw points, the closest being Bias Audit Transparency at Jobylon 28 to Paycor 25. Article 11 Technical Documentation is the widest raw gap and the heaviest weighted swing at once (Jobylon 55, Paycor 40, 20% weight), but it accounts for only 38% of the weighted advantage Jobylon 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 +7.9 — 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 +8 beside that +7.9.

§ 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.
