§ The result
Paylocity leads Loxo on 4 of the 7 criteria.
Paylocity scores 43 and Loxo 37 under rubric v1.0, a 6-point gap across the ATS-integrated and Sourcing cohorts. Paylocity leads 4 of the 7 criteria and the remaining 3 are level, so Loxo is ahead on none of them; the closest of the 4 Paylocity leads is Post-Market Monitoring, Loxo 40 to Paylocity 42. Article 11 Technical Documentation is both the widest raw gap and the heaviest weighted swing — Loxo 30, Paylocity 44 — and at a 20% weight it carries 47% of the weighted advantage Paylocity holds across the 4 criteria on that side of the table.

Weighted delta is the raw difference times the criterion weight, so the 4 figures above sum to -6.0 — the difference between the two totals before either is rounded. Shares are of 6.0 points of movement counted without direction. The table below rounds each side to a whole number first, so its Δ raw total reads -6 beside that -6.0.
