§ The result
Lever leads CoderPad on 6 of the 7 criteria.
Under rubric v1.0, Lever, filed under ATS-integrated, finishes on 49 and CoderPad, filed under Assessment, on 42, 7 points apart. CoderPad is ahead on none of the 7 criteria: Lever takes 6, the remaining criterion is level, and the nearest of those 6 is Post-Market Monitoring, CoderPad 44 to Lever 45. Bias Audit Transparency is both the widest raw gap and the heaviest weighted swing — CoderPad 20, Lever 42 — and at an 18% weight it carries 56% 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 -7.0 — the difference between the two totals before either is rounded. Shares are of 7.0 points of movement counted without direction. The table below rounds each side to a whole number first, so its Δ raw total reads -7 beside that -7.0.

§ 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.
