§ The result
2 points separate impress.ai and Dice.
impress.ai (Screening) edges Dice (Sourcing) by 2 points under rubric v1.0, 38 to 36. Dice and impress.ai each lead 3 of the 7 criteria, with 1 level, though the side of the split impress.ai holds (headed by Data Governance Disclosure) adds up to more weighted points. One criterion, Data Governance Disclosure, is both the widest raw gap (Dice 45, impress.ai 55) and the heaviest weighted swing, and at 15% weight it makes up 55% of the weighted advantage impress.ai holds across the 3 criteria it leads.

Weighted delta is the raw difference times the criterion weight, so the 6 figures above sum to -1.5 — the difference between the two totals before either is rounded. Shares are of 4.0 points of movement counted without direction. The table below rounds each side to a whole number first, so its Δ raw total reads -2 beside that -1.5.

§ 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.
