§ The result
Lever leads DevSkiller on 6 of the 7 criteria.
Lever sits 10 points above DevSkiller under rubric v1.0 — 49 against 39 — with Lever filed under ATS-integrated and DevSkiller under Assessment. Lever leads 6 of the 7 criteria and the remaining criterion is level, so DevSkiller is ahead on none of them; the closest of the 6 Lever leads is Human Oversight Design, DevSkiller 55 to Lever 60. Bias Audit Transparency is the widest raw gap and the heaviest weighted swing at once (DevSkiller 22, Lever 42, 18% weight), but it accounts for only 35% 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 -10.2 — the difference between the two totals before either is rounded. Shares are of 10.2 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 -10.2.

§ 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.
