§ The result
Dover leads Recruiterflow on 5 of the 7 criteria.
Dover scores 45 and Recruiterflow 36 under rubric v1.0, a 9-point gap across the Sourcing and ATS-integrated cohorts. Dover leads 5 of the 7 criteria and the remaining 2 are level, so Recruiterflow is ahead on none of them; the closest of the 5 Dover leads is Article 11 Technical Documentation, Dover 34 to Recruiterflow 33. One criterion, Bias Audit Transparency, is both the widest raw gap (Dover 52, Recruiterflow 18) and the heaviest weighted swing, and at 18% weight it makes up 69% of the weighted advantage Dover holds across the 5 criteria it leads.

Weighted delta is the raw difference times the criterion weight, so the 5 figures above sum to +8.9 — the difference between the two totals before either is rounded. Shares are of 8.9 points of movement counted without direction. The table below rounds each side to a whole number first, so its Δ raw total reads +9 beside that +8.9.

§ 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.
