§ The result
3 points separate The Predictive Index and Dover.
The Predictive Index (Assessment) edges Dover (Sourcing) by 3 points under rubric v1.0, 48 to 45. Dover and The Predictive Index each lead 3 of the 7 criteria, with 1 level, though the side of the split The Predictive Index holds (headed by Article 11 Technical Documentation) adds up to more weighted points. Article 11 Technical Documentation is both the widest raw gap and the heaviest weighted swing — Dover 34, The Predictive Index 50 — and at a 20% weight it carries 68% of the weighted advantage The Predictive Index holds across the 3 criteria on that side of the table.

Weighted delta is the raw difference times the criterion weight, so the 6 figures above sum to -2.6 — the difference between the two totals before either is rounded. Shares are of 6.8 points of movement counted without direction. The table below rounds each side to a whole number first, so its Δ raw total reads -3 beside that -2.6.

§ 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.
