§ The result
2 points separate Paycom and Saville Assessment.
Paycom holds a 2-point edge over Saville Assessment under rubric v1.0, 50 to 48, across the ATS-integrated and Assessment cohorts. The criteria split evenly, 2 each to Paycom and Saville Assessment, with 3 level, and the weighted points on the side Paycom holds, headed by Article 11 Technical Documentation, settle the total. Article 11 Technical Documentation is both the widest raw gap and the heaviest weighted swing — Paycom 68, Saville Assessment 50 — and at a 20% weight it carries 77% of the weighted advantage Paycom holds across the 2 criteria on that side of the table.
