§ The result
Paycom leads Dice on 6 of the 7 criteria.
Paycom, filed under ATS-integrated, comes out 14 points above Dice, filed under Sourcing: 50 against 36 under rubric v1.0. Dice is ahead on none of the 7 criteria: Paycom takes 6, the remaining criterion is level, and the nearest of those 6 is Post-Market Monitoring, Dice 35 to Paycom 38. Article 11 Technical Documentation is both the widest raw gap and the heaviest weighted swing — Dice 32, Paycom 68 — and at a 20% weight it carries 51% of the weighted advantage Paycom holds across the 6 criteria on that side of the table.

Weighted delta is the raw difference times the criterion weight, so the 6 figures above sum to -14.0 — the difference between the two totals before either is rounded. Shares are of 14.0 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 -14.0.

§ 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.
