§ The result
VisualCV leads LoopCV by 13 points.
VisualCV sits 13 points above LoopCV under rubric js-v1.0 — 63 (D) against 50 (F) — with VisualCV filed under Resume AI and LoopCV under Auto-apply. VisualCV leads 6 of the 7 criteria, including Employer & ATS Legitimacy, while LoopCV leads 1, including Pricing & Cancellation Fairness. Employer & ATS Legitimacy is the widest raw gap and the heaviest weighted swing at once (LoopCV 38, VisualCV 74, 15% weight), but it accounts for only 35% of the weighted advantage VisualCV holds across the 6 criteria on that side of the table.

Weighted delta is the raw difference times the criterion weight, so the 7 figures above sum to -13.2 — the difference between the two totals before either is rounded. Shares are of 17.4 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 -13.2.

§ 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.
