§ The result
Zoho Recruit leads Pulsifi by 9 points.
Zoho Recruit scores 42 and Pulsifi 33 under rubric v1.0, a 9-point gap across the ATS-integrated and Assessment cohorts. Pulsifi takes 1 of the 7 criteria, Human Oversight Design among them, against 6 for Zoho Recruit, whose share includes Article 11 Technical Documentation. Article 11 Technical Documentation is the widest raw gap and the heaviest weighted swing at once (Pulsifi 30, Zoho Recruit 45, 20% weight), but it accounts for only 32% of the weighted advantage Zoho Recruit holds across the 6 criteria on that side of the table.

Shares are of 9.9 points of movement counted without direction. The table below rounds each side to a whole number first, so its Δ raw total reads -9 beside that -8.7.

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.
