§ The result
Tezi leads Personio on 6 of the 7 criteria.
Tezi finishes 18 points clear of Personio under rubric v1.0 — 58 against 40 — across the Screening and ATS-integrated cohorts. Tezi leads 6 of the 7 criteria and the remaining criterion is level, so Personio is ahead on none of them; the closest of the 6 Tezi leads is Data Governance Disclosure, Personio 52 to Tezi 55. Bias Audit Transparency is both the widest raw gap and the heaviest weighted swing — Personio 25, Tezi 83 — and at an 18% weight it carries 60% of the weighted advantage Tezi holds across the 6 criteria on that side of the table.

Weighted delta is the raw difference times the criterion weight, so the 6 figures above sum to -17.5 — the difference between the two totals before either is rounded. Shares are of 17.5 points of movement counted without direction. The table below rounds each side to a whole number first, so its Δ raw total reads -18 beside that -17.5.

§ 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.
