§ The result
Lever leads Humanly by 7 points.
Lever scores 49 and Humanly 42 under rubric v1.0, a 7-point gap across the ATS-integrated and Screening cohorts. Lever leads 6 of the 7 criteria, including Data Governance Disclosure, while Humanly leads 1, including FRIA Support. Data Governance Disclosure is the widest raw gap and the heaviest weighted swing at once (Humanly 40, Lever 58, 15% weight), but it accounts for only 39% 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 7 figures above sum to -6.5 — 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 -6.5.

§ 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.
