§ The result
Bryq leads Dover by 12 points.
Bryq sits 12 points above Dover under rubric v1.0 — 57 against 45 — with Bryq filed under Assessment and Dover under Sourcing. Bryq leads 6 of the 7 criteria, including Article 11 Technical Documentation, while Dover leads 1, including Human Oversight Design. Article 11 Technical Documentation is the widest raw gap and the heaviest weighted swing at once (Bryq 54, Dover 34, 20% weight), but it accounts for only 32% of the weighted advantage Bryq 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 +11.9 — the difference between the two totals before either is rounded. Shares are of 12.8 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 +11.9.

§ 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.
