§ The result
Dover takes the total, Manatal takes more of the criteria.
Dover (Sourcing) edges Manatal (ATS-integrated) by 4 points under rubric v1.0, 45 to 41. Manatal leads more of the criteria than Dover — 4 to 3 — but Bias Audit Transparency, which Dover leads, carries 18% of the rubric, and the weighted sum still falls to Dover. Bias Audit Transparency is both the widest raw gap and the heaviest weighted swing — Dover 52, Manatal 22 — and at an 18% weight it carries 94% of the weighted advantage Dover holds across the 3 criteria on that side of the table.

Weighted delta is the raw difference times the criterion weight, so the 7 figures above sum to +4.6 — the difference between the two totals before either is rounded. Shares are of 6.9 points of movement counted without direction. The table below rounds each side to a whole number first, so its Δ raw total reads +4 beside that +4.6.

§ 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.
