§ The result
VidCruiter leads Pillar on 5 of the 7 criteria.
VidCruiter scores 48 and Pillar 40 under rubric v1.0, an 8-point gap across the Video interview and Screening cohorts. VidCruiter leads 5 of the 7 criteria and the remaining 2 are level, so Pillar is ahead on none of them; the closest of the 5 VidCruiter leads is FRIA Support, Pillar 30 to VidCruiter 32. Article 11 Technical Documentation is both the widest raw gap and the heaviest weighted swing — Pillar 42, VidCruiter 58 — and at a 20% weight it carries 42% of the weighted advantage VidCruiter holds across the 5 criteria on that side of the table.

Weighted delta is the raw difference times the criterion weight, so the 5 figures above sum to -7.6 — the difference between the two totals before either is rounded. Shares are of 7.6 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 -7.6.

§ 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.
