§ The result
Avature leads Dice on all 7 criteria.
Avature sits 12 points above Dice under rubric v1.0 — 48 against 36 — with Avature filed under ATS-integrated and Dice under Sourcing. Avature leads every one of the 7 criteria, Dice none of them, and the closest of the 7 is Human Oversight Design, Avature 60 to Dice 55. The advantage Avature holds is spread out: Article 11 Technical Documentation is both the widest raw gap and the heaviest weighted swing (Avature 55, Dice 32, 20% weight), yet it supplies only 37% of the weighted points Avature gains across the 7 criteria it leads.

Weighted delta is the raw difference times the criterion weight, so the 7 figures above sum to +12.3 — the difference between the two totals before either is rounded. Shares are of 12.3 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 +12.3.

§ 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.
