§ The result
Lever leads Canditech on 6 of the 7 criteria.
Lever sits 10 points above Canditech under rubric v1.0 — 49 against 39 — with Lever filed under ATS-integrated and Canditech under Assessment. Lever leads 6 of the 7 criteria and the remaining criterion is level, so Canditech is ahead on none of them; the closest of the 6 Lever leads is FRIA Support, Canditech 30 to Lever 32. Bias Audit Transparency is the widest raw gap and the heaviest weighted swing at once (Canditech 25, Lever 42, 18% weight), but it accounts for only 32% of the weighted advantage Lever holds across the 6 criteria on that side of the table.

Weighted delta is the raw difference times the criterion weight, so the 6 figures above sum to -9.7 — the difference between the two totals before either is rounded. Shares are of 9.7 points of movement counted without direction. The table below rounds each side to a whole number first, so its Δ raw total reads -10 beside that -9.7.

§ 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.
