§ The result
Pinpoint leads RecruitBot on all 7 criteria.
Under rubric v1.0, Pinpoint (ATS-integrated) opens a 20-point lead on RecruitBot (Sourcing), 57 to 37. RecruitBot leads none of the 7 criteria, and Pinpoint is ahead on 3 of them by 20 raw points or more, Article 11 Technical Documentation among them. Even Article 11 Technical Documentation, the widest raw gap and the heaviest weighted swing (Pinpoint 72, RecruitBot 33, 20% weight), is only 39% of the weighted advantage Pinpoint builds across the 7 criteria it leads.

Weighted delta is the raw difference times the criterion weight, so the 7 figures above sum to +20.1 — the difference between the two totals before either is rounded. Shares are of 20.1 points of movement counted without direction. The table below rounds each side to a whole number first, so its Δ raw total reads +20 beside that +20.1.

§ 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.
