§ The result
Paycom takes the total, Oracle Recruiting takes more of the criteria.
Within the ATS-integrated cohort, Paycom edges Oracle Recruiting by 1 point under rubric v1.0, 50 to 49. Oracle Recruiting leads more of the criteria than Paycom — 4 to 3 — but Article 11 Technical Documentation, which Paycom leads, carries 20% of the rubric, and the weighted sum still falls to Paycom. Article 11 Technical Documentation is both the widest raw gap and the heaviest weighted swing — Oracle Recruiting 60, Paycom 68 — and at a 20% weight it carries 48% of the weighted advantage Paycom holds across the 3 criteria on that side of the table.

Weighted delta is the raw difference times the criterion weight, so the 7 figures above sum to -1.6 — the difference between the two totals before either is rounded. Shares are of 5.1 points of movement counted without direction. The table below rounds each side to a whole number first, so its Δ raw total reads -1 beside that -1.6.

§ 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.
