X0PA AI scores 48 and Zoho Recruit 42 under rubric v1.0, a 6-point gap across the Assessment and ATS-integrated cohorts. X0PA AI leads 5 of the 7 criteria and the remaining 2 are level, so Zoho Recruit is ahead on none of them; the closest of the 5 X0PA AI leads is Data Governance Disclosure, X0PA AI 56 to Zoho Recruit 55.

Weighted delta is the raw difference times the criterion weight, so the 5 figures above sum to +6.8 — the difference between the two totals before either is rounded. Shares are of 6.8 points of movement counted without direction. The table below rounds each side to a whole number first, so its Δ raw total reads +6 beside that +6.8.

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.
