§ The result
Ashby leads Dice on all 7 criteria.
Under rubric v1.0, Ashby (ATS-integrated) opens a 20-point lead on Dice (Sourcing), 56 to 36. Ashby takes all 7 criteria and Dice none of them; the nearest contest is Human Oversight Design, Ashby 62 to Dice 55. The advantage Ashby holds is spread out: Bias Audit Transparency is both the widest raw gap and the heaviest weighted swing (Ashby 62, Dice 25, 18% weight), yet it supplies only 33% of the weighted points Ashby gains across the 7 criteria it leads.

Weighted delta is the raw difference times the criterion weight, so the 7 figures above sum to +20.1 — the difference between the two totals before either is rounded. Shares are of 20.1 points of movement counted without direction. The table below rounds each side to a whole number first, so its Δ raw total reads +20 beside that +20.1.

§ 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.
