§ The result
Paycor leads Qureos on all 7 criteria.
Paycor scores 40 and Qureos 33 under rubric v1.0, a 7-point gap across the ATS-integrated and Screening cohorts. Paycor is ahead of Qureos on all 7 criteria but on none of them by as much as 20 raw points, the closest being Human Oversight Design at Paycor 55 to Qureos 54. Bias Audit Transparency is the widest raw gap (Paycor 25, Qureos 12) but not the heaviest weighted swing, which is Article 11 Technical Documentation at 20% (Paycor 40, Qureos 28), 36% of the weighted advantage Paycor builds across the 7 criteria it leads.

Weighted delta is the raw difference times the criterion weight, so the 7 figures above sum to +6.7 — the difference between the two totals before either is rounded. Shares are of 6.7 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 +6.7.

§ 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.
