§ The result
Spark Hire leads Dice on all 7 criteria.
Spark Hire finishes 17 points clear of Dice under rubric v1.0 — 53 against 36 — across the Video interview and Sourcing cohorts. Of the 7 criteria Dice wins none, and the narrowest lead Spark Hire holds is on Post-Market Monitoring, Dice 35 to Spark Hire 38. Even Bias Audit Transparency, the widest raw gap and the heaviest weighted swing (Dice 25, Spark Hire 62, 18% weight), is only 39% of the weighted advantage Spark Hire builds across the 7 criteria it leads.

Weighted delta is the raw difference times the criterion weight, so the 7 figures above sum to -17.2 — the difference between the two totals before either is rounded. Shares are of 17.2 points of movement counted without direction. The table below rounds each side to a whole number first, so its Δ raw total reads -17 beside that -17.2.

§ 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.
