The result

X0PA AI leads Brazen on all 7 criteria.

X0PA AI sits 10 points above Brazen under rubric v1.0 — 48 against 38 — with X0PA AI filed under Assessment and Brazen under Screening. X0PA AI 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 X0PA AI 40. The advantage X0PA AI holds is spread out: Bias Audit Transparency is both the widest raw gap and the heaviest weighted swing (Brazen 30, X0PA AI 44, 18% weight), yet it supplies only 25% of the weighted points X0PA AI gains across the 7 criteria it leads.

Weighted delta is the raw difference times the criterion weight, so the 7 figures above sum to -10.1 — the difference between the two totals before either is rounded. Shares are of 10.1 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 -10.1.

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.
