§ The result
Sapia.ai leads Recruitee on all 7 criteria.
Sapia.ai sits 14 points above Recruitee under rubric v1.0 — 56 against 42 — with Sapia.ai filed under Assessment and Recruitee under ATS-integrated. Sapia.ai leads every one of the 7 criteria, Recruitee none of them, and the closest of the 7 is Human Oversight Design, Recruitee 58 to Sapia.ai 62. Article 11 Technical Documentation is the widest raw gap and the heaviest weighted swing at once (Recruitee 42, Sapia.ai 70, 20% weight), but it accounts for only 39% of the weighted advantage Sapia.ai holds across the 7 criteria on that side of the table.

Shares are of 14.3 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 -14.3.

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.
