§ The result
The Predictive Index leads Zappyhire on all 7 criteria.
The Predictive Index sits 14 points above Zappyhire under rubric v1.0 — 48 against 34 — with The Predictive Index filed under Assessment and Zappyhire under Screening. The Predictive Index leads every one of the 7 criteria, Zappyhire none of them, and the closest of the 7 is Human Oversight Design, The Predictive Index 52 to Zappyhire 50. Article 11 Technical Documentation is the widest raw gap and the heaviest weighted swing at once (The Predictive Index 50, Zappyhire 30, 20% weight), but it accounts for only 29% of the weighted advantage The Predictive Index holds across the 7 criteria on that side of the table.

Weighted delta is the raw difference times the criterion weight, so the 7 figures above sum to +13.8 — the difference between the two totals before either is rounded. Shares are of 13.8 points of movement counted without direction. The table below rounds each side to a whole number first, so its Δ raw total reads +14 beside that +13.8.

§ 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.
