§ The result
Lever leads Cappfinity on all 7 criteria.
Lever scores 49 and Cappfinity 40 under rubric v1.0, a 9-point gap across the ATS-integrated and Assessment cohorts. Lever is ahead of Cappfinity on all 7 criteria but on none of them by as much as 20 raw points, the closest being Customer Documentation at Cappfinity 56 to Lever 58. Article 11 Technical Documentation is the widest raw gap and the heaviest weighted swing at once (Cappfinity 36, Lever 52, 20% weight), but it accounts for only 35% of the weighted advantage Lever holds across the 7 criteria on that side of the table.

Weighted delta is the raw difference times the criterion weight, so the 7 figures above sum to -9.2 — the difference between the two totals before either is rounded. Shares are of 9.2 points of movement counted without direction. The table below rounds each side to a whole number first, so its Δ raw total reads -9 beside that -9.2.

§ 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.
