§ The result
Handshake leads Dice on all 7 criteria.
Handshake, filed under Screening, comes out 14 points above Dice, filed under Sourcing: 50 against 36 under rubric v1.0. Handshake leads every one of the 7 criteria, Dice none of them, and the closest of the 7 is Human Oversight Design, Dice 55 to Handshake 58. The advantage Handshake holds is spread out: Bias Audit Transparency is both the widest raw gap and the heaviest weighted swing (Dice 25, Handshake 52, 18% weight), yet it supplies only 36% of the weighted points Handshake gains across the 7 criteria it leads.

Weighted delta is the raw difference times the criterion weight, so the 7 figures above sum to -13.3 — the difference between the two totals before either is rounded. Shares are of 13.3 points of movement counted without direction. The table below rounds each side to a whole number first, so its Δ raw total reads -14 beside that -13.3.

§ 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.
