§ The result
Adaface leads XOR on all 7 criteria.
Under rubric v1.0, Adaface, filed under Assessment, finishes on 39 and XOR, filed under Screening, on 30, 9 points apart. Adaface takes all 7 criteria from XOR without a 20-point raw gap on any of them; the closest is Bias Audit Transparency, Adaface 22 to XOR 18. The advantage Adaface holds is spread out: Article 11 Technical Documentation is both the widest raw gap and the heaviest weighted swing (Adaface 38, XOR 20, 20% weight), yet it supplies only 39% of the weighted points Adaface gains across the 7 criteria it leads.
Vendor profile
Adaface
Adaface runs chatbot-led 'conversational' skills tests for 500+ roles that score candidates automatically as pass, borderline pass or fail on benchmarked scorecards, backed by webcam, screen and IP proctoring and an AI résumé parser.
Vendor profile
XOR
XOR is a text-first conversational-AI recruiting platform that pre-screens and scores high-volume and hourly candidates with recruiter-defined knockout/scoring questions over SMS, WhatsApp, and Messenger, then auto-schedules interviews on the recruiter's calendar.
§ The record
Adaface is filed under Assessment AI, XOR under Screening AI. They record no secondary category in common.
Both are in scope of NYC LL 144, Illinois HB 3773, EU AI Act and Colorado AI Act. Only Adaface is in scope of Mobley v. Workday.

Weighted delta is the raw difference times the criterion weight, so the 7 figures above sum to +9.2 — the difference between the two totals before either is rounded. Shares are of 9.2 points of movement counted without direction. The table below rounds each side to a whole number first, so its Δ raw total reads +9 beside that +9.2.
§ Category-by-category
Raw score per criterion, with weighted delta.
Δ is Adaface minus XOR.

§ 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.
