§ The result
VidCruiter leads Personio by 8 points.
VidCruiter scores 48 and Personio 40 under rubric v1.0, an 8-point gap across the Video interview and ATS-integrated cohorts. VidCruiter leads 6 of the 7 criteria, including Article 11 Technical Documentation, while Personio leads 1, including Post-Market Monitoring. Article 11 Technical Documentation is the widest raw gap and the heaviest weighted swing at once (Personio 40, VidCruiter 58, 20% weight), but it accounts for only 39% of the weighted advantage VidCruiter 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 -7.5 — the difference between the two totals before either is rounded. Shares are of 11.1 points of movement counted without direction. The table below rounds each side to a whole number first, so its Δ raw total reads -8 beside that -7.5.

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.
