§ The result
Ribbon leads Dice on 6 of the 7 criteria.
Under rubric v1.0, Ribbon, filed under Screening, finishes on 43 and Dice, filed under Sourcing, on 36, 7 points apart. Dice is ahead on none of the 7 criteria: Ribbon takes 6, the remaining criterion is level, and the nearest of those 6 is Post-Market Monitoring, Dice 35 to Ribbon 37. Even Bias Audit Transparency, the widest raw gap and the heaviest weighted swing (Dice 25, Ribbon 38, 18% weight), is only 33% of the weighted advantage Ribbon builds across the 6 criteria it leads.

Weighted delta is the raw difference times the criterion weight, so the 6 figures above sum to -7.2 — the difference between the two totals before either is rounded. Shares are of 7.2 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 -7.2.

§ 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.
