§ The result
Lever leads Draup on all 7 criteria.
Lever scores 49 and Draup 42 under rubric v1.0, a 7-point gap across the ATS-integrated and Sourcing cohorts. Lever is ahead of Draup on all 7 criteria but on none of them by as much as 20 raw points, the closest being Customer Documentation at Draup 57 to Lever 58. Post-Market Monitoring is the widest raw gap and the heaviest weighted swing at once (Draup 28, Lever 45, 12% weight), but it accounts for only 32% 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 -6.4 — the difference between the two totals before either is rounded. Shares are of 6.4 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 -6.4.

§ 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.
