§ The result
4 points separate Brazen and HireQuotient.
Brazen (Screening) edges HireQuotient (Sourcing) by 4 points under rubric v1.0, 38 to 34. The 7 criteria split 6 to 1 in favour of Brazen: Brazen is ahead on Bias Audit Transparency and HireQuotient on Human Oversight Design. Bias Audit Transparency is the widest raw gap and the heaviest weighted swing at once (Brazen 30, HireQuotient 18, 18% weight), but it accounts for only 38% 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 7 figures above sum to +4.4 — the difference between the two totals before either is rounded. Shares are of 7.0 points of movement counted without direction. The table below rounds each side to a whole number first, so its Δ raw total reads +4 beside that +4.4.

§ 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.
