§ The result
Pinpoint leads Paradox by 16 points.
Pinpoint finishes 16 points clear of Paradox under rubric v1.0 — 57 against 41 — across the ATS-integrated and Scheduling cohorts. Pinpoint leads 6 of the 7 criteria, including Article 11 Technical Documentation, while Paradox leads 1, including Bias Audit Transparency. Article 11 Technical Documentation is the widest raw gap and the heaviest weighted swing at once (Paradox 40, Pinpoint 72, 20% weight), but it accounts for only 37% of the weighted advantage Pinpoint holds across the 6 criteria on that side of the table.

Weighted delta is the raw difference times the criterion weight, so the 7 figures above sum to -15.8 — the difference between the two totals before either is rounded. Shares are of 18.6 points of movement counted without direction. The table below rounds each side to a whole number first, so its Δ raw total reads -16 beside that -15.8.

§ 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.
