§ The result
Crosschq leads XOR on all 7 criteria.
Under rubric v1.0, Crosschq opens a 17-point lead on XOR, 47 to 30, with both scored in the Screening cohort. Crosschq leads every one of the 7 criteria and 3 of them by 20 raw points or more, Article 11 Technical Documentation among them; XOR leads none. Article 11 Technical Documentation is the widest raw gap and the heaviest weighted swing at once (Crosschq 50, XOR 20, 20% weight), but it accounts for only 35% of the weighted advantage Crosschq holds across the 7 criteria on that side of the table.
Vendor profile
Crosschq
Crosschq is a hiring-intelligence platform that combines automated 360 reference checks, an AI Interview Agent that conducts and scores voice/video screening interviews, AI resume matching and ranking, candidate-fraud and identity checks, Traitify personality and cognitive assessments, and quality-of-hire analytics.
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
Crosschq and XOR are both filed under Screening AI. They record no secondary category in common.
Both are in scope of EU AI Act, NYC LL 144, Illinois HB 3773 and Colorado AI Act. Only Crosschq is in scope of Mobley v. Workday.

Weighted delta is the raw difference times the criterion weight, so the 7 figures above sum to +17.4 — the difference between the two totals before either is rounded. Shares are of 17.4 points of movement counted without direction. The table below rounds each side to a whole number first, so its Δ raw total reads +17 beside that +17.4.

§ 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.
