§ The result
Pin leads Zappyhire on 5 of the 7 criteria.
Pin scores 40 and Zappyhire 34 under rubric v1.0, a 6-point gap across the Sourcing and Screening cohorts. Pin leads 5 of the 7 criteria and the remaining 2 are level, so Zappyhire is ahead on none of them; the closest of the 5 Pin leads is FRIA Support, Pin 30 to Zappyhire 25. The advantage Pin holds is spread out: Post-Market Monitoring is both the widest raw gap and the heaviest weighted swing (Pin 45, Zappyhire 28, 12% weight), yet it supplies only 34% of the weighted points Pin gains across the 5 criteria it leads.

Weighted delta is the raw difference times the criterion weight, so the 5 figures above sum to +6.0 — the difference between the two totals before either is rounded. Shares are of 6.0 points of movement counted without direction. The table below rounds each side to a whole number first, so its Δ raw total reads +6 beside that +6.0.

§ 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.
