§ The result
PageUp leads Paycom on all 7 criteria.
Both filed under ATS-integrated, PageUp and Paycom come out 64 (D) and 50 (F) under rubric v1.0, 14 points in favour of PageUp. Of the 7 criteria Paycom wins none, and the narrowest lead PageUp holds is on Data Governance Disclosure, PageUp 63 to Paycom 62. One criterion, Bias Audit Transparency, is both the widest raw gap (PageUp 80, Paycom 38) and the heaviest weighted swing, and at 18% weight it makes up 55% of the weighted advantage PageUp holds across the 7 criteria it leads.

Weighted delta is the raw difference times the criterion weight, so the 7 figures above sum to +13.8 — the difference between the two totals before either is rounded. Shares are of 13.8 points of movement counted without direction. The table below rounds each side to a whole number first, so its Δ raw total reads +14 beside that +13.8.

§ 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.
