§ The result
Lever leads hireEZ by 7 points.
Lever scores 49 and hireEZ 42 under rubric v1.0, a 7-point gap across the ATS-integrated and Sourcing cohorts. Lever leads 5 of the 7 criteria, including Article 11 Technical Documentation, while hireEZ leads 1, including Data Governance Disclosure, and 1 is level. Article 11 Technical Documentation is the widest raw gap and the heaviest weighted swing at once (hireEZ 38, Lever 52, 20% weight), but it accounts for only 39% of the weighted advantage Lever holds across the 5 criteria on that side of the table.

Weighted delta is the raw difference times the criterion weight, so the 6 figures above sum to -6.8 — the difference between the two totals before either is rounded. Shares are of 7.4 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 -6.8.

§ 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.
