§ The result
Eightfold AI leads Brazen on all 7 criteria.
Rubric v1.0 puts 26 points between Eightfold AI (Sourcing) and Brazen (Screening): 64 (D) for Eightfold AI, 38 (F) for Brazen. Eightfold AI leads every one of the 7 criteria and 3 of them by 20 raw points or more, Bias Audit Transparency among them; Brazen leads none. Bias Audit Transparency is the widest raw gap and the heaviest weighted swing at once (Brazen 30, Eightfold AI 85, 18% weight), but it accounts for only 39% of the weighted advantage Eightfold AI 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 -25.7 — the difference between the two totals before either is rounded. Shares are of 25.7 points of movement counted without direction. The table below rounds each side to a whole number first, so its Δ raw total reads -26 beside that -25.7.

§ 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.
