§ The result
iCIMS leads Dice on all 7 criteria.
Under rubric v1.0, iCIMS (ATS-integrated) opens a 19-point lead on Dice (Sourcing), 55 to 36. iCIMS leads every one of the 7 criteria, Dice none of them, and the closest of the 7 is Human Oversight Design, Dice 55 to iCIMS 58. Bias Audit Transparency is both the widest raw gap and the heaviest weighted swing — Dice 25, iCIMS 68 — and at an 18% weight it carries 41% of the weighted advantage iCIMS holds across the 7 criteria on that side of the table.

Weighted delta is the raw difference times the criterion weight, so the 7 figures above sum to -18.7 — the difference between the two totals before either is rounded. Shares are of 18.7 points of movement counted without direction. The table below rounds each side to a whole number first, so its Δ raw total reads -19 beside that -18.7.

§ 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.
