§ The result
Brainner leads Dice by 10 points.
Brainner, filed under Screening, comes out 10 points above Dice, filed under Sourcing: 46 against 36 under rubric v1.0. Brainner leads 6 of the 7 criteria, including Article 11 Technical Documentation, while Dice leads 1, including Human Oversight Design. Article 11 Technical Documentation is the widest raw gap and the heaviest weighted swing at once (Brainner 52, Dice 32, 20% weight), but it accounts for only 37% of the weighted advantage Brainner holds across the 6 criteria on that side of the table.

Weighted delta is the raw difference times the criterion weight, so the 7 figures above sum to +10.3 — the difference between the two totals before either is rounded. Shares are of 11.4 points of movement counted without direction. The table below rounds each side to a whole number first, so its Δ raw total reads +10 beside that +10.3.

§ 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.
