§ The result
Paylocity leads Dice by 7 points.
Paylocity scores 43 and Dice 36 under rubric v1.0, a 7-point gap across the ATS-integrated and Sourcing cohorts. Paylocity leads 6 of the 7 criteria, including Article 11 Technical Documentation, while Dice leads 1, including Human Oversight Design. Article 11 Technical Documentation is the widest raw gap and the heaviest weighted swing at once (Dice 32, Paylocity 44, 20% weight), but it accounts for only 32% of the weighted advantage Paylocity holds across the 6 criteria on that side of the table.

Weighted delta is the raw difference times the criterion weight, so the 7 figures above sum to -6.8 — the difference between the two totals before either is rounded. Shares are of 8.0 points of movement counted without direction. The table below rounds each side to a whole number first, so its Δ raw total reads -7 beside that -6.8.

§ 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.
