§ The result
Rippling leads Knockri on 6 of the 7 criteria.
Under rubric v1.0, Rippling, filed under ATS-integrated, finishes on 56 and Knockri, filed under Video interview, on 47, 9 points apart. Knockri is ahead on none of the 7 criteria: Rippling takes 6, the remaining criterion is level, and the nearest of those 6 is Bias Audit Transparency, Knockri 35 to Rippling 42. The advantage Rippling holds is spread out: Article 11 Technical Documentation is both the widest raw gap and the heaviest weighted swing (Knockri 55, Rippling 73, 20% weight), yet it supplies only 36% of the weighted points Rippling gains across the 6 criteria it leads.

Weighted delta is the raw difference times the criterion weight, so the 6 figures above sum to -9.9 — the difference between the two totals before either is rounded. Shares are of 9.9 points of movement counted without direction. The table below rounds each side to a whole number first, so its Δ raw total reads -9 beside that -9.9.

§ 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.
