§ The result
Thomas International leads Brazen on all 7 criteria.
Thomas International sits 10 points above Brazen under rubric v1.0 — 48 against 38 — with Thomas International filed under Assessment and Brazen under Screening. Thomas International is ahead of Brazen on all 7 criteria but on none of them by as much as 20 raw points, the closest being Post-Market Monitoring at Brazen 38 to Thomas International 40. Article 11 Technical Documentation is the widest raw gap and the heaviest weighted swing at once (Brazen 40, Thomas International 54, 20% weight), but it accounts for only 30% of the weighted advantage Thomas International 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 -9.4 — the difference between the two totals before either is rounded. Shares are of 9.4 points of movement counted without direction. The table below rounds each side to a whole number first, so its Δ raw total reads -10 beside that -9.4.
