§ The result
Talkpush leads Zappyhire on all 7 criteria.
Talkpush sits 12 points above Zappyhire under rubric v1.0, 46 against 34, with both filed under Screening. Talkpush leads every one of the 7 criteria, Zappyhire none of them, and the closest of the 7 is FRIA Support, Talkpush 27 to Zappyhire 25. Article 11 Technical Documentation is the widest raw gap and the heaviest weighted swing at once (Talkpush 52, Zappyhire 30, 20% weight), but it accounts for only 38% of the weighted advantage Talkpush holds across the 7 criteria on that side of the table.
