§ The result
2 points separate Lever and Hogan Assessments.
Lever (ATS-integrated) edges Hogan Assessments (Assessment) by 2 points under rubric v1.0, 49 to 47. Lever leads 4 of the 7 criteria, including Human Oversight Design, while Hogan Assessments leads 3, including FRIA Support. Human Oversight Design is the widest raw gap and the heaviest weighted swing at once (Hogan Assessments 52, Lever 60, 12% weight), but it accounts for only 34% of the weighted advantage Lever holds across the 4 criteria on that side of the table.

Weighted delta is the raw difference times the criterion weight, so the 7 figures above sum to -1.6 — the difference between the two totals before either is rounded. Shares are of 4.1 points of movement counted without direction. The table below rounds each side to a whole number first, so its Δ raw total reads -2 beside that -1.6.

§ 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.
