§ The result
Xobin leads Brazen on 6 of the 7 criteria.
Xobin, filed under Assessment, comes out 12 points above Brazen, filed under Screening: 50 against 38 under rubric v1.0. Brazen is ahead on none of the 7 criteria: Xobin takes 6, the remaining criterion is level, and the nearest of those 6 is Customer Documentation, Brazen 55 to Xobin 60. The advantage Xobin holds is spread out: Article 11 Technical Documentation is both the widest raw gap and the heaviest weighted swing (Brazen 40, Xobin 62, 20% weight), yet it supplies only 37% of the weighted points Xobin gains across the 6 criteria it leads.

Weighted delta is the raw difference times the criterion weight, so the 6 figures above sum to -11.9 — the difference between the two totals before either is rounded. Shares are of 11.9 points of movement counted without direction. The table below rounds each side to a whole number first, so its Δ raw total reads -12 beside that -11.9.

§ 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.
