§ The result
Rippling leads Testlify on all 7 criteria.
Rippling sits 11 points above Testlify under rubric v1.0 — 56 against 45 — with Rippling filed under ATS-integrated and Testlify under Assessment. Rippling takes all 7 criteria and Testlify none of them; the nearest contest is Customer Documentation, Rippling 64 to Testlify 60. The advantage Rippling holds is spread out: Article 11 Technical Documentation is both the widest raw gap and the heaviest weighted swing (Rippling 73, Testlify 52, 20% weight), yet it supplies only 38% of the weighted points Rippling gains across the 7 criteria it leads.

Weighted delta is the raw difference times the criterion weight, so the 7 figures above sum to +11.0 — the difference between the two totals before either is rounded. Shares are of 11.0 points of movement counted without direction. The table below rounds each side to a whole number first, so its Δ raw total reads +11 beside that +11.0.

§ 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.
