§ The result
Darwinbox leads Dice on 5 of the 7 criteria.
Darwinbox sits 10 points above Dice under rubric v1.0 — 46 against 36 — with Darwinbox filed under ATS-integrated and Dice under Sourcing. Darwinbox leads 5 of the 7 criteria and the remaining 2 are level, so Dice is ahead on none of them; the closest of the 5 Darwinbox leads is Bias Audit Transparency, Darwinbox 28 to Dice 25. One criterion, Article 11 Technical Documentation, is both the widest raw gap (Darwinbox 60, Dice 32) and the heaviest weighted swing, and at 20% weight it makes up 60% of the weighted advantage Darwinbox holds across the 5 criteria it leads.

Weighted delta is the raw difference times the criterion weight, so the 5 figures above sum to +9.4 — the difference between the two totals before either is rounded. Shares are of 9.4 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 +9.4.

§ 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.
