§ The result
Lever leads Recruitee on 6 of the 7 criteria.
Lever scores 49 and Recruitee 42 under rubric v1.0 — a 7-point gap inside the ATS-integrated cohort. Lever leads 6 of the 7 criteria and the remaining criterion is level, so Recruitee is ahead on none of them; the closest of the 6 Lever leads is Human Oversight Design, Lever 60 to Recruitee 58. Bias Audit Transparency is the widest raw gap and the heaviest weighted swing at once (Lever 42, Recruitee 30, 18% weight), but it accounts for only 32% 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 +6.7 — the difference between the two totals before either is rounded. Shares are of 6.7 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 +6.7.

§ 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.
