§ The result
Oracle Recruiting leads Mercor on all 7 criteria.
Rubric v1.0 puts 26 points between Oracle Recruiting (ATS-integrated) and Mercor (Screening): 49 for Oracle Recruiting, 23 for Mercor. Oracle Recruiting leads every one of the 7 criteria and 5 of them by 20 raw points or more, Article 11 Technical Documentation among them; Mercor leads none. Article 11 Technical Documentation is the widest raw gap and the heaviest weighted swing at once (Mercor 22, Oracle Recruiting 60, 20% weight), but it accounts for only 30% of the weighted advantage Oracle Recruiting holds across the 7 criteria on that side of the table.

Weighted delta is the raw difference times the criterion weight, so the 7 figures above sum to -25.5 — the difference between the two totals before either is rounded. Shares are of 25.5 points of movement counted without direction. The table below rounds each side to a whole number first, so its Δ raw total reads -26 beside that -25.5.

§ 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.
