§ The result
X0PA AI leads ZipRecruiter on 6 of the 7 criteria.
X0PA AI scores 48 and ZipRecruiter 40 under rubric v1.0, an 8-point gap across the Assessment and Sourcing cohorts. X0PA AI leads 6 of the 7 criteria and the remaining criterion is level, so ZipRecruiter is ahead on none of them; the closest of the 6 X0PA AI leads is Human Oversight Design, X0PA AI 57 to ZipRecruiter 55. One criterion, Bias Audit Transparency, is both the widest raw gap (X0PA AI 44, ZipRecruiter 24) and the heaviest weighted swing, and at 18% weight it makes up 42% of the weighted advantage X0PA AI holds across the 6 criteria it leads.

Weighted delta is the raw difference times the criterion weight, so the 6 figures above sum to +8.6 — the difference between the two totals before either is rounded. Shares are of 8.6 points of movement counted without direction. The table below rounds each side to a whole number first, so its Δ raw total reads +8 beside that +8.6.

§ 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.
