§ The result
TalentLens takes the total, Dover takes more of the criteria.
TalentLens holds a 1-point edge over Dover under rubric v1.0, 46 to 45, across the Assessment and Sourcing cohorts. Dover leads more of the criteria, 4 against 1 for TalentLens, yet TalentLens takes Article 11 Technical Documentation, which carries 20% of the rubric, and the weighted sum with it. Article 11 Technical Documentation is both the widest raw gap and the heaviest weighted swing — Dover 34, TalentLens 52 — and at a 20% weight it carries 100% of the weighted advantage TalentLens holds across the 1 criterion on that side of the table.

Weighted delta is the raw difference times the criterion weight, so the 5 figures above sum to -0.6 — the difference between the two totals before either is rounded. Shares are of 6.6 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 -0.6.

§ 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.
