§ The result
Xobin leads Personio by 10 points.
Xobin sits 10 points above Personio under rubric v1.0 — 50 against 40 — with Xobin filed under Assessment and Personio under ATS-integrated. Xobin 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, Xobin 62, 20% weight), but it accounts for only 39% of the weighted advantage Xobin 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 -9.9 — the difference between the two totals before either is rounded. Shares are of 12.3 points of movement counted without direction. The table below rounds each side to a whole number first, so its Δ raw total reads -10 beside that -9.9.

§ 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.
