§ The result
HiredScore leads Brazen by 14 points.
HiredScore sits 14 points above Brazen under rubric v1.0 — 52 against 38 — with HiredScore filed under Sourcing and Brazen under Screening. HiredScore leads 6 of the 7 criteria, including Article 11 Technical Documentation, while Brazen leads 1, including Post-Market Monitoring. Article 11 Technical Documentation is the widest raw gap and the heaviest weighted swing at once (Brazen 40, HiredScore 65, 20% weight), but it accounts for only 36% of the weighted advantage HiredScore holds across the 6 criteria on that side of the table.

Weighted delta is the raw difference times the criterion weight, so the 7 figures above sum to -13.5 — the difference between the two totals before either is rounded. Shares are of 14.2 points of movement counted without direction. The table below rounds each side to a whole number first, so its Δ raw total reads -14 beside that -13.5.

§ 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.
