§ The result
Avature leads Brazen on all 7 criteria.
Avature, filed under ATS-integrated, comes out 10 points above Brazen, filed under Screening: 48 against 38 under rubric v1.0. Avature takes all 7 criteria from Brazen without a 20-point raw gap on any of them; the closest is Post-Market Monitoring, Avature 40 to Brazen 38. Article 11 Technical Documentation is the widest raw gap and the heaviest weighted swing at once (Avature 55, Brazen 40, 20% weight), but it accounts for only 30% of the weighted advantage Avature 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 +10.1 — the difference between the two totals before either is rounded. Shares are of 10.1 points of movement counted without direction. The table below rounds each side to a whole number first, so its Δ raw total reads +10 beside that +10.1.

§ 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.
