§ The result
X0PA AI leads Personio by 8 points.
X0PA AI scores 48 and Personio 40 under rubric v1.0, an 8-point gap across the Assessment and ATS-integrated cohorts. X0PA AI leads 6 of the 7 criteria, including Bias Audit Transparency, while Personio leads 1, including Post-Market Monitoring. Bias Audit Transparency is the widest raw gap and the heaviest weighted swing at once (Personio 25, X0PA AI 44, 18% weight), but it accounts for only 38% of the weighted advantage X0PA AI 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 -8.1 — the difference between the two totals before either is rounded. Shares are of 10.1 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 -8.1.

§ 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.
