§ The result
Lever leads Arena Analytics on all 7 criteria.
Under rubric v1.0, Lever (ATS-integrated) opens a 17-point lead on Arena Analytics (Screening), 49 to 32. Arena Analytics leads none of the 7 criteria, and Lever is ahead on 3 of them by 20 raw points or more, Article 11 Technical Documentation among them. The advantage Lever holds is spread out: Article 11 Technical Documentation is both the widest raw gap and the heaviest weighted swing (Arena Analytics 30, Lever 52, 20% weight), yet it supplies only 26% of the weighted points Lever gains across the 7 criteria it leads.

1.1 weighted points to Lever
Weighted delta is the raw difference times the criterion weight, so the 7 figures above sum to -17.2 — the difference between the two totals before either is rounded. Shares are of 17.2 points of movement counted without direction. The table below rounds each side to a whole number first, so its Δ raw total reads -17 beside that -17.2.

§ 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.
