§ The result
Dayforce leads Brazen on all 7 criteria.
Dayforce finishes 19 points clear of Brazen under rubric v1.0 — 57 against 38 — across the ATS-integrated and Screening cohorts. Dayforce leads every one of the 7 criteria, Brazen none of them, and the closest of the 7 is Post-Market Monitoring, Brazen 38 to Dayforce 47. Article 11 Technical Documentation is the widest raw gap and the heaviest weighted swing at once (Brazen 40, Dayforce 74, 20% weight), but it accounts for only 36% of the weighted advantage Dayforce 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 -18.8 — the difference between the two totals before either is rounded. Shares are of 18.8 points of movement counted without direction. The table below rounds each side to a whole number first, so its Δ raw total reads -19 beside that -18.8.

§ 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.
