§ The result
Maki People leads Brazen on all 7 criteria.
Maki People finishes 24 points clear of Brazen under rubric v1.0 — 62 (D) against 38 (F) — across the Assessment and Screening cohorts. Maki People leads every one of the 7 criteria and 3 of them by 20 raw points or more, Bias Audit Transparency among them; Brazen leads none. Bias Audit Transparency is the widest raw gap and the heaviest weighted swing at once (Brazen 30, Maki People 80, 18% weight), but it accounts for only 37% of the weighted advantage Maki People 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 -24.1 — the difference between the two totals before either is rounded. Shares are of 24.1 points of movement counted without direction. The table below rounds each side to a whole number first, so its Δ raw total reads -24 beside that -24.1.

§ 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.
