§ The result
Dover leads Dice on all 7 criteria.
Inside the Sourcing cohort, rubric v1.0 puts Dover on 45 and Dice on 36, 9 points apart. Of the 7 criteria Dice wins none, and the narrowest lead Dover holds is on Article 11 Technical Documentation, Dice 32 to Dover 34. One criterion, Bias Audit Transparency, is both the widest raw gap (Dice 25, Dover 52) and the heaviest weighted swing, and at 18% weight it makes up 54% of the weighted advantage Dover holds across the 7 criteria it leads.

Weighted delta is the raw difference times the criterion weight, so the 7 figures above sum to -9.0 — the difference between the two totals before either is rounded. Shares are of 9.0 points of movement counted without direction. The table below rounds each side to a whole number first, so its Δ raw total reads -9 beside that -9.0.

§ 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.
