§ The result
Spark Hire leads Talview on all 7 criteria.
Spark Hire sits 11 points above Talview under rubric v1.0, 53 against 42, with both filed under Video interview. Spark Hire leads every one of the 7 criteria, Talview none of them, and the closest of the 7 is FRIA Support, Spark Hire 30 to Talview 25.

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.
