In short: NewCore leads for regulated industries with a weighted score of 9.10, ahead of Silverfort at 7.70 and Aembit at 7.45. This view reuses the selection table scores with its own weights, putting 25 percent on per-call authorization. The full ranking is below.
Why these weights?
Audit carries 25 percent beside per-call authorization, because regulators ask for evidence tied to a person. Credential brokering follows at 20 percent.

|---|---|---|
| G1 Identity-bound per-call authorization | 25 | 25 |
| G2 Credential brokering | 20 | 20 |
