§ The result
PageUp leads micro1 on all 7 criteria.
Rubric v1.0 puts 28 points between PageUp (ATS-integrated) and micro1 (Screening): 64 (D) for PageUp, 36 (F) for micro1. PageUp leads every one of the 7 criteria and 3 of them by 20 raw points or more, Bias Audit Transparency among them; micro1 leads none. The advantage PageUp holds is spread out: Bias Audit Transparency is both the widest raw gap and the heaviest weighted swing (micro1 20, PageUp 80, 18% weight), yet it supplies only 39% of the weighted points PageUp gains across the 7 criteria it leads.
Vendor profile
micro1
Zara, micro1's LLM-based AI interviewer, runs recorded, adaptive spoken interviews (with optional coding exercises and automated proctoring) and returns per-skill proficiency ratings, soft-skill ratings and a proctoring score; micro1 uses it to certify experts for its own AI-training talent network, and employers can use it through a client portal and API.
Vendor profile
PageUp
PageUp is an enterprise talent acquisition suite (ATS, recruitment marketing/CRM, onboarding, learning and performance). Its AI Skills Matching sorts each applicant's resume against skills taken from the job ad into five bands, from Excellent Match to Not a Match, and recruiters reach those results through Paige, its conversational assistant.
§ The record
micro1 is filed under Screening AI, PageUp under ATS-integrated AI. They record no secondary category in common.
Both are in scope of EU AI Act, NYC LL 144, Illinois HB 3773 and Colorado AI Act. Only micro1 is in scope of Mobley v. Workday.

Weighted delta is the raw difference times the criterion weight, so the 7 figures above sum to -28.0 — the difference between the two totals before either is rounded. Shares are of 28.0 points of movement counted without direction. The table below rounds each side to a whole number first, so its Δ raw total reads -28 beside that -28.0.

§ 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.
