§ The result
Lever leads Loxo on 6 of the 7 criteria.
Lever sits 12 points above Loxo under rubric v1.0 — 49 against 37 — with Lever filed under ATS-integrated and Loxo under Sourcing. Lever leads 6 of the 7 criteria and the remaining criterion is level, so Loxo is ahead on none of them; the closest of the 6 Lever leads is FRIA Support, Lever 32 to Loxo 30. Article 11 Technical Documentation is the widest raw gap and the heaviest weighted swing at once (Lever 52, Loxo 30, 20% weight), but it accounts for only 38% 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 6 figures above sum to +11.7 — the difference between the two totals before either is rounded. Shares are of 11.7 points of movement counted without direction. The table below rounds each side to a whole number first, so its Δ raw total reads +12 beside that +11.7.

§ 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.
