§ The result
PageUp leads ZipRecruiter on all 7 criteria.
Under rubric v1.0, PageUp (ATS-integrated) opens a 24-point lead on ZipRecruiter (Sourcing), 64 (D) to 40 (F). PageUp leads every one of the 7 criteria, ZipRecruiter none of them, and the closest of the 7 is Human Oversight Design, PageUp 64 to ZipRecruiter 55. Bias Audit Transparency is both the widest raw gap and the heaviest weighted swing — PageUp 80, ZipRecruiter 24 — and at an 18% weight it carries 42% of the weighted advantage PageUp 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 +24.1 — the difference between the two totals before either is rounded. Shares are of 24.1 points of movement counted without direction. The table below rounds each side to a whole number first, so its Δ raw total reads +24 beside that +24.1.

§ 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.
