§ The result
4 points separate Tengai and Brazen.
Within the Screening cohort, Tengai edges Brazen by 4 points under rubric v1.0, 42 to 38. Tengai leads 5 of the 7 criteria, including Human Oversight Design, while Brazen leads 1, including Post-Market Monitoring, and 1 is level. Human Oversight Design is the widest raw gap and the heaviest weighted swing at once (Brazen 46, Tengai 58, 12% weight), but it accounts for only 34% of the weighted advantage Tengai holds across the 5 criteria on that side of the table.

Weighted delta is the raw difference times the criterion weight, so the 6 figures above sum to -3.6 — the difference between the two totals before either is rounded. Shares are of 4.8 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 -3.6.

§ 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.
