§ The result
Pinpoint leads Lever on 6 of the 7 criteria.
Pinpoint scores 57 and Lever 49 under rubric v1.0 — an 8-point gap inside the ATS-integrated cohort. Pinpoint leads 6 of the 7 criteria and the remaining criterion is level, so Lever is ahead on none of them; the closest of the 6 Pinpoint leads is Human Oversight Design, Lever 60 to Pinpoint 64. Article 11 Technical Documentation is both the widest raw gap and the heaviest weighted swing — Lever 52, Pinpoint 72 — and at a 20% weight it carries 48% of the weighted advantage Pinpoint 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 -8.4 — the difference between the two totals before either is rounded. Shares are of 8.4 points of movement counted without direction. The table below rounds each side to a whole number first, so its Δ raw total reads -8 beside that -8.4.

§ 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.
