§ The result
Jobylon leads ZipRecruiter on all 7 criteria.
Jobylon scores 48 and ZipRecruiter 40 under rubric v1.0, an 8-point gap across the ATS-integrated and Sourcing cohorts. Jobylon is ahead of ZipRecruiter 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 ZipRecruiter 24. The advantage Jobylon holds is spread out: Article 11 Technical Documentation is both the widest raw gap and the heaviest weighted swing (Jobylon 55, ZipRecruiter 40, 20% weight), yet it supplies only 39% of the weighted points Jobylon gains across the 7 criteria it leads.

Weighted delta is the raw difference times the criterion weight, so the 7 figures above sum to +7.6 — the difference between the two totals before either is rounded. Shares are of 7.6 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 +7.6.

§ 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.
