§ The result
Rippling leads Xobin by 6 points.
Rippling scores 56 and Xobin 50 under rubric v1.0, a 6-point gap across the ATS-integrated and Assessment cohorts. Xobin takes 1 of the 7 criteria, Bias Audit Transparency among them, against 6 for Rippling, whose share includes Article 11 Technical Documentation. Article 11 Technical Documentation is the widest raw gap and the heaviest weighted swing at once (Rippling 73, Xobin 62, 20% weight), but it accounts for only 34% of the weighted advantage Rippling holds across the 6 criteria on that side of the table.

Shares are of 6.6 points of movement counted without direction. The table below rounds each side to a whole number first, so its Δ raw total reads +6 beside that +6.2.

§ 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.
