§ The result
Sapia.ai leads Brazen on all 7 criteria.
Sapia.ai finishes 18 points clear of Brazen under rubric v1.0 — 56 against 38 — across the Assessment and Screening cohorts. Sapia.ai leads every one of the 7 criteria, Brazen none of them, and the closest of the 7 is Customer Documentation, Brazen 55 to Sapia.ai 62. Article 11 Technical Documentation is the widest raw gap and the heaviest weighted swing at once (Brazen 40, Sapia.ai 70, 20% weight), but it accounts for only 33% of the weighted advantage Sapia.ai 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 -17.9 — the difference between the two totals before either is rounded. Shares are of 17.9 points of movement counted without direction. The table below rounds each side to a whole number first, so its Δ raw total reads -18 beside that -17.9.

§ 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.
