§ The result
Lever leads JazzHR on all 7 criteria.
Lever scores 49 and JazzHR 44 under rubric v1.0 — a 5-point gap inside the ATS-integrated cohort. Lever is ahead of JazzHR on all 7 criteria but on none of them by as much as 20 raw points, the closest being Human Oversight Design at JazzHR 58 to Lever 60. Article 11 Technical Documentation is the widest raw gap and the heaviest weighted swing at once (JazzHR 45, Lever 52, 20% weight), but it accounts for only 28% 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 -4.9 — the difference between the two totals before either is rounded. Shares are of 4.9 points of movement counted without direction. The table below rounds each side to a whole number first, so its Δ raw total reads -5 beside that -4.9.

§ 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.
