§ The result
X0PA AI leads Zappyhire on all 7 criteria.
X0PA AI sits 14 points above Zappyhire under rubric v1.0 — 48 against 34 — with X0PA AI filed under Assessment and Zappyhire under Screening. X0PA AI leads every one of the 7 criteria, Zappyhire none of them, and the closest of the 7 is Human Oversight Design, X0PA AI 57 to Zappyhire 50. Article 11 Technical Documentation is the widest raw gap and the heaviest weighted swing at once (X0PA AI 50, Zappyhire 30, 20% weight), but it accounts for only 28% of the weighted advantage X0PA AI holds across the 7 criteria on that side of the table.
