§ The result
Sapia.ai leads Recruiterflow on all 7 criteria.
Under rubric v1.0, Sapia.ai (Assessment) opens a 20-point lead on Recruiterflow (ATS-integrated), 56 to 36. Sapia.ai leads every one of the 7 criteria, Recruiterflow none of them, and the closest of the 7 is Human Oversight Design, Recruiterflow 58 to Sapia.ai 62. The advantage Sapia.ai holds is spread out: Article 11 Technical Documentation is both the widest raw gap and the heaviest weighted swing (Recruiterflow 33, Sapia.ai 70, 20% weight), yet it supplies only 37% of the weighted points Sapia.ai gains across the 7 criteria it leads.

Weighted delta is the raw difference times the criterion weight, so the 7 figures above sum to -20.0 — the difference between the two totals before either is rounded. Shares are of 20.0 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 -20.0.

§ 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.
