§ The result
UKG leads Brazen on 4 of the 7 criteria.
UKG scores 44 and Brazen 38 under rubric v1.0, a 6-point gap across the ATS-integrated and Screening cohorts. UKG leads 4 of the 7 criteria and the remaining 3 are level, so Brazen is ahead on none of them; the closest of the 4 UKG leads is Human Oversight Design, Brazen 46 to UKG 52. Data Governance Disclosure is the widest raw gap and the heaviest weighted swing at once (Brazen 45, UKG 56, 15% weight), but it accounts for only 30% of the weighted advantage UKG holds across the 4 criteria on that side of the table.

Weighted delta is the raw difference times the criterion weight, so the 4 figures above sum to -5.5 — the difference between the two totals before either is rounded. Shares are of 5.5 points of movement counted without direction. The table below rounds each side to a whole number first, so its Δ raw total reads -6 beside that -5.5.

§ 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.
