§ The result
RippleMatch takes the total, Dover takes more of the criteria.
Under rubric v1.0, RippleMatch and Dover finish 1 point apart, 46 to 45, as two Sourcing entries. Dover leads more of the criteria than RippleMatch — 3 to 2 — but Article 11 Technical Documentation, which RippleMatch leads, carries 20% of the rubric, and the weighted sum still falls to RippleMatch. One criterion, Article 11 Technical Documentation, is both the widest raw gap (Dover 34, RippleMatch 46) and the heaviest weighted swing, and at 20% weight it makes up 93% of the weighted advantage RippleMatch holds across the 2 criteria it leads.

0.1 weighted points to Dover
Weighted delta is the raw difference times the criterion weight, so the 5 figures above sum to -1.2 — the difference between the two totals before either is rounded. Shares are of 4.0 points of movement counted without direction. The table below rounds each side to a whole number first, so its Δ raw total reads -1 beside that -1.2.

§ 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.
