§ The result
Dover leads Arena Analytics on all 7 criteria.
Dover, filed under Sourcing, comes out 13 points above Arena Analytics, filed under Screening: 45 against 32 under rubric v1.0. Arena Analytics leads none of the 7 criteria, and Dover is ahead on 3 of them by 20 raw points or more, Bias Audit Transparency among them. Bias Audit Transparency is the widest raw gap and the heaviest weighted swing at once (Arena Analytics 25, Dover 52, 18% weight), but it accounts for only 36% of the weighted advantage Dover 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 -13.7 — the difference between the two totals before either is rounded. Shares are of 13.7 points of movement counted without direction. The table below rounds each side to a whole number first, so its Δ raw total reads -13 beside that -13.7.
