§ The result
Rippling leads VidCruiter by 8 points.
Rippling scores 56 and VidCruiter 48 under rubric v1.0, an 8-point gap across the ATS-integrated and Video interview cohorts. Rippling leads 6 of the 7 criteria, including Article 11 Technical Documentation, while VidCruiter leads 1, including Human Oversight Design. Article 11 Technical Documentation is the widest raw gap and the heaviest weighted swing at once (Rippling 73, VidCruiter 58, 20% weight), but it accounts for only 34% 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 7 figures above sum to +8.6 — the difference between the two totals before either is rounded. Shares are of 9.1 points of movement counted without direction. The table below rounds each side to a whole number first, so its Δ raw total reads +8 beside that +8.6.

§ 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.
