§ The result
Alva Labs leads Dice on all 7 criteria.
Alva Labs (Assessment) and Dice (Sourcing) are 25 points apart under rubric v1.0, 61 (D) for Alva Labs against 36 (F) for Dice. Dice leads none of the 7 criteria, and Alva Labs is ahead on 3 of them by 20 raw points or more, Article 11 Technical Documentation among them. Article 11 Technical Documentation is the widest raw gap and the heaviest weighted swing at once (Alva Labs 78, Dice 32, 20% weight), but it accounts for only 37% of the weighted advantage Alva Labs holds across the 7 criteria on that side of the table.

Weighted delta is the raw difference times the criterion weight, so the 7 figures above sum to +25.0 — the difference between the two totals before either is rounded. Shares are of 25.0 points of movement counted without direction. The table below rounds each side to a whole number first, so its Δ raw total reads +25 beside that +25.0.

§ 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.
