§ The result
Lever leads TestGorilla on 4 of the 7 criteria.
Lever (ATS-integrated) edges TestGorilla (Assessment) by 2 points under rubric v1.0, 49 to 47. Lever leads 4 of the 7 criteria and the remaining 3 are level, so TestGorilla is ahead on none of them; the closest of the 4 Lever leads is FRIA Support, Lever 32 to TestGorilla 30. Post-Market Monitoring is the widest raw gap and the heaviest weighted swing at once (Lever 45, TestGorilla 38, 12% weight), but it accounts for only 39% of the weighted advantage Lever holds across the 4 criteria on that side of the table.

0.3 weighted points to Lever
Weighted delta is the raw difference times the criterion weight, so the 4 figures above sum to +2.2 — the difference between the two totals before either is rounded. Shares are of 2.2 points of movement counted without direction. The table below rounds each side to a whole number first, so its Δ raw total reads +2 beside that +2.2.

§ 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.
