§ The result
TestGorilla leads ZipRecruiter by 7 points.
Under rubric v1.0, TestGorilla, filed under Assessment, finishes on 47 and ZipRecruiter, filed under Sourcing, on 40, 7 points apart. ZipRecruiter takes 1 of the 7 criteria, Post-Market Monitoring among them, against 6 for TestGorilla, whose share includes Bias Audit Transparency. Bias Audit Transparency is the widest raw gap and the heaviest weighted swing at once (TestGorilla 38, ZipRecruiter 24, 18% weight), but it accounts for only 37% of the weighted advantage TestGorilla 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 +6.6 — the difference between the two totals before either is rounded. Shares are of 7.1 points of movement counted without direction. The table below rounds each side to a whole number first, so its Δ raw total reads +7 beside that +6.6.

§ 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.
