§ The result
ADP leads Dice on 6 of the 7 criteria.
ADP, filed under ATS-integrated, comes out 12 points above Dice, filed under Sourcing: 48 against 36 under rubric v1.0. Dice is ahead on none of the 7 criteria: ADP takes 6, the remaining criterion is level, and the nearest of those 6 is FRIA Support, ADP 28 to Dice 25. The advantage ADP holds is spread out: Article 11 Technical Documentation is both the widest raw gap and the heaviest weighted swing (ADP 53, Dice 32, 20% weight), yet it supplies only 35% of the weighted points ADP gains across the 6 criteria it leads.

Weighted delta is the raw difference times the criterion weight, so the 6 figures above sum to +12.1 — the difference between the two totals before either is rounded. Shares are of 12.1 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 +12.1.

§ 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.
