§ The result
Rippling leads TestGorilla on 6 of the 7 criteria.
Rippling scores 56 and TestGorilla 47 under rubric v1.0, a 9-point gap across the ATS-integrated and Assessment cohorts. Rippling leads 6 of the 7 criteria and the remaining criterion is level, so TestGorilla is ahead on none of them; the closest of the 6 Rippling leads is Bias Audit Transparency, Rippling 42 to TestGorilla 38. Article 11 Technical Documentation is both the widest raw gap and the heaviest weighted swing — Rippling 73, TestGorilla 52 — and at a 20% weight it carries 42% of the weighted advantage Rippling holds across the 6 criteria on that side of the table.

Weighted delta is the raw difference times the criterion weight, so the 6 figures above sum to +9.9 — the difference between the two totals before either is rounded. 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 +9.9.

§ 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.
