§ The result
Pinpoint leads Paycom on all 7 criteria.
Pinpoint scores 57 and Paycom 50 under rubric v1.0 — a 7-point gap inside the ATS-integrated cohort. Pinpoint is ahead of Paycom on all 7 criteria but on none of them by as much as 20 raw points, the closest being Article 11 Technical Documentation at Paycom 68 to Pinpoint 72. Post-Market Monitoring is the widest raw gap and the heaviest weighted swing at once (Paycom 38, Pinpoint 52, 12% weight), but it accounts for only 24% of the weighted advantage Pinpoint 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 -6.9 — the difference between the two totals before either is rounded. Shares are of 6.9 points of movement counted without direction. The table below rounds each side to a whole number first, so its Δ raw total reads -7 beside that -6.9.

§ 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.
