§ The result
Gem leads Brazen on all 7 criteria.
Gem finishes 17 points clear of Brazen under rubric v1.0 — 55 against 38 — across the Sourcing and Screening cohorts. Gem leads every one of the 7 criteria, Brazen none of them, and the closest of the 7 is Customer Documentation, Brazen 55 to Gem 62. Bias Audit Transparency is the widest raw gap and the heaviest weighted swing at once (Brazen 30, Gem 66, 18% weight), but it accounts for only 39% of the weighted advantage Gem 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 -16.8 — the difference between the two totals before either is rounded. Shares are of 16.8 points of movement counted without direction. The table below rounds each side to a whole number first, so its Δ raw total reads -17 beside that -16.8.

§ 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.
