§ The result
Workable leads Zappyhire on 6 of the 7 criteria.
Workable sits 14 points above Zappyhire under rubric v1.0 — 48 against 34 — with Workable filed under ATS-integrated and Zappyhire under Screening. Workable leads 6 of the 7 criteria and the remaining criterion is level, so Zappyhire is ahead on none of them; the closest of the 6 Workable leads is Customer Documentation, Workable 56 to Zappyhire 45. Article 11 Technical Documentation is the widest raw gap and the heaviest weighted swing at once (Workable 55, Zappyhire 30, 20% weight), but it accounts for only 36% of the weighted advantage Workable holds across the 6 criteria on that side of the table.

Shares are of 13.9 points of movement counted without direction. The table below rounds each side to a whole number first, so its Δ raw total reads +14 beside that +13.9.

§ 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.
