§ The result
2 points separate Personio and Brazen.
Personio (ATS-integrated) edges Brazen (Screening) by 2 points under rubric v1.0, 40 to 38. Personio leads 4 of the 7 criteria, including Post-Market Monitoring, while Brazen leads 2, including Bias Audit Transparency, and 1 is level. Post-Market Monitoring is the widest raw gap and the heaviest weighted swing at once (Brazen 38, Personio 48, 12% weight), but it accounts for only 37% of the weighted advantage Personio holds across the 4 criteria on that side of the table.

Weighted delta is the raw difference times the criterion weight, so the 6 figures above sum to -1.9 — the difference between the two totals before either is rounded. Shares are of 4.5 points of movement counted without direction. The table below rounds each side to a whole number first, so its Δ raw total reads -2 beside that -1.9.

§ 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.
