§ The result
Brazen leads Emi on 6 of the 7 criteria.
Inside the Screening cohort, rubric v1.0 puts Brazen on 38 and Emi on 33, 5 points apart. Emi is ahead on none of the 7 criteria: Brazen takes 6, the remaining criterion is level, and the nearest of those 6 is Data Governance Disclosure, Brazen 45 to Emi 44. Article 11 Technical Documentation is both the widest raw gap and the heaviest weighted swing — Brazen 40, Emi 28 — and at a 20% weight it carries 41% of the weighted advantage Brazen holds across the 6 criteria on that side of the table.

Weighted delta is the raw difference times the criterion weight, so the 6 figures above sum to +5.9 — the difference between the two totals before either is rounded. Shares are of 5.9 points of movement counted without direction. The table below rounds each side to a whole number first, so its Δ raw total reads +5 beside that +5.9.

§ 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.
