§ The result
Cegid leads Brazen on 6 of the 7 criteria.
Under rubric v1.0, Cegid, filed under ATS-integrated, finishes on 45 and Brazen, filed under Screening, on 38, 7 points apart. Brazen is ahead on none of the 7 criteria: Cegid takes 6, the remaining criterion is level, and the nearest of those 6 is Post-Market Monitoring, Brazen 38 to Cegid 40. Even Article 11 Technical Documentation, the widest raw gap and the heaviest weighted swing (Brazen 40, Cegid 50, 20% weight), is only 31% of the weighted advantage Cegid builds across the 6 criteria it leads.

Weighted delta is the raw difference times the criterion weight, so the 6 figures above sum to -6.4 — the difference between the two totals before either is rounded. Shares are of 6.4 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 -6.4.

§ 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.
