§ The result
Checkr leads Dice on all 7 criteria.
Checkr finishes 18 points clear of Dice under rubric v1.0 — 54 against 36 — across the Screening and Sourcing cohorts. Checkr takes all 7 criteria and Dice none of them; the nearest contest is FRIA Support, Checkr 32 to Dice 25. One criterion, Article 11 Technical Documentation, is both the widest raw gap (Checkr 70, Dice 32) and the heaviest weighted swing, and at 20% weight it makes up 43% of the weighted advantage Checkr holds across the 7 criteria it leads.

Weighted delta is the raw difference times the criterion weight, so the 7 figures above sum to +17.6 — the difference between the two totals before either is rounded. Shares are of 17.6 points of movement counted without direction. The table below rounds each side to a whole number first, so its Δ raw total reads +18 beside that +17.6.

§ 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.
