Gloat holds a 1-point edge over Brainner under rubric v1.0, 47 to 46, across the Sourcing and Screening cohorts. Brainner leads more of the criteria, 4 against 3 for Gloat, yet Gloat takes Human Oversight Design, which carries 12% of the rubric, and the weighted sum with it. Human Oversight Design is both the widest raw gap and the heaviest weighted swing — Brainner 50, Gloat 62 — and at a 12% weight it carries 57% of the weighted advantage Gloat holds across the 3 criteria on that side of the table.

0.3 weighted points to Brainner
Weighted delta is the raw difference times the criterion weight, so the 7 figures above sum to -0.3 — the difference between the two totals before either is rounded. Shares are of 4.7 points of movement counted without direction. The table below rounds each side to a whole number first, so its Δ raw total reads -1 beside that -0.3.

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.
