§ The result
Vervoe leads Zappyhire on 5 of the 7 criteria.
Vervoe sits 12 points above Zappyhire under rubric v1.0 — 46 against 34 — with Vervoe filed under Assessment and Zappyhire under Screening. Vervoe leads 5 of the 7 criteria and the remaining 2 are level, so Zappyhire is ahead on none of them; the closest of the 5 Vervoe leads is Human Oversight Design, Vervoe 60 to Zappyhire 50. Bias Audit Transparency is the widest raw gap and the heaviest weighted swing at once (Vervoe 52, Zappyhire 28, 18% weight), but it accounts for only 38% of the weighted advantage Vervoe holds across the 5 criteria on that side of the table.

Weighted delta is the raw difference times the criterion weight, so the 5 figures above sum to +11.5 — the difference between the two totals before either is rounded. Shares are of 11.5 points of movement counted without direction. The table below rounds each side to a whole number first, so its Δ raw total reads +12 beside that +11.5.

§ 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.
