§ The result
3 points separate Paycor and Loxo.
Paycor holds a 3-point edge over Loxo under rubric v1.0, 40 to 37, across the ATS-integrated and Sourcing cohorts. The criteria split evenly, 3 each to Loxo and Paycor, with 1 level, and the weighted points on the side Paycor holds, headed by Article 11 Technical Documentation, settle the total. Article 11 Technical Documentation is both the widest raw gap and the heaviest weighted swing — Loxo 30, Paycor 40 — and at a 20% weight it carries 57% of the weighted advantage Paycor holds across the 3 criteria on that side of the table.

Weighted delta is the raw difference times the criterion weight, so the 6 figures above sum to -2.6 — the difference between the two totals before either is rounded. Shares are of 4.4 points of movement counted without direction. The table below rounds each side to a whole number first, so its Δ raw total reads -3 beside that -2.6.

§ 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.
