§ The result
Knockri leads Zappyhire on all 7 criteria.
Knockri sits 13 points above Zappyhire under rubric v1.0 — 47 against 34 — with Knockri filed under Video interview and Zappyhire under Screening. Of the 7 criteria Zappyhire wins none, and the narrowest lead Knockri holds is on Bias Audit Transparency, Knockri 35 to Zappyhire 28. One criterion, Article 11 Technical Documentation, is both the widest raw gap (Knockri 55, Zappyhire 30) and the heaviest weighted swing, and at 20% weight it makes up 40% of the weighted advantage Knockri holds across the 7 criteria it leads.

Weighted delta is the raw difference times the criterion weight, so the 7 figures above sum to +12.5 — the difference between the two totals before either is rounded. Shares are of 12.5 points of movement counted without direction. The table below rounds each side to a whole number first, so its Δ raw total reads +13 beside that +12.5.

§ 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.
