§ The result
Brazen takes the total, Keka takes more of the criteria.
Brazen holds a 1-point edge over Keka under rubric v1.0, 38 to 37, across the Screening and ATS-integrated cohorts. Keka leads more of the criteria, 4 against 2 for Brazen, yet Brazen takes Article 11 Technical Documentation, which carries 20% of the rubric, and the weighted sum with it. Article 11 Technical Documentation is both the widest raw gap and the heaviest weighted swing — Brazen 40, Keka 30 — and at a 20% weight it carries 53% of the weighted advantage Brazen holds across the 2 criteria on that side of the table.

Weighted delta is the raw difference times the criterion weight, so the 6 figures above sum to +1.6 — the difference between the two totals before either is rounded. Shares are of 6.0 points of movement counted without direction. The table below rounds each side to a whole number first, so its Δ raw total reads +1 beside that +1.6.

§ 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.
