§ The result
Testlify leads Zappyhire on all 7 criteria.
Testlify, filed under Assessment, comes out 11 points above Zappyhire, filed under Screening: 45 against 34 under rubric v1.0. Of the 7 criteria Zappyhire wins none, and the narrowest lead Testlify holds is on Bias Audit Transparency, Testlify 30 to Zappyhire 28. Article 11 Technical Documentation is the widest raw gap and the heaviest weighted swing at once (Testlify 52, Zappyhire 30, 20% weight), but it accounts for only 39% of the weighted advantage Testlify holds across the 7 criteria on that side of the table.
