A Sudoku With Just 4 Given Thermometers/Dots

*** TODAY'S PUZZLE ***
After the fireworks at the end of yesterday's puzzle, we face a sudoku today with just four thermometers of modest length and four dots! It's by GBPack and this is a class construction (that defeated one of our testers).

Play the puzzle at the link below:

https://app.crackingthecryptic.com/sudoku/9hLjJRdRpd

Rules:
Normal sudoku rules apply. Digits along thermometers increase from the bulb end. Cells separated by a white dot contain consecutive digits. Cells separated by a black dot contain digits in a 1:2 ratio (ie one digit is double the other). Not all possible black or white dots are given.

Look out for our video solving the puzzle in Numberphile's latest video tomorrow :)
