§ The result
Sova Assessment leads Dice on 6 of the 7 criteria.
Sova Assessment sits 12 points above Dice under rubric v1.0 — 48 against 36 — with Sova Assessment filed under Assessment and Dice under Sourcing. Sova Assessment leads 6 of the 7 criteria and the remaining criterion is level, so Dice is ahead on none of them; the closest of the 6 Sova Assessment leads is Post-Market Monitoring, Dice 35 to Sova Assessment 40. Article 11 Technical Documentation is the widest raw gap and the heaviest weighted swing at once (Dice 32, Sova Assessment 55, 20% weight), but it accounts for only 39% of the weighted advantage Sova Assessment 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 -11.8 — the difference between the two totals before either is rounded. Shares are of 11.8 points of movement counted without direction. The table below rounds each side to a whole number first, so its Δ raw total reads -12 beside that -11.8.

§ 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.
