§ The result
Dice leads XOR on 6 of the 7 criteria.
Under rubric v1.0, Dice, filed under Sourcing, finishes on 36 and XOR, filed under Screening, on 30, 6 points apart. XOR is ahead on none of the 7 criteria: Dice takes 6, the remaining criterion is level, and the nearest of those 6 is Post-Market Monitoring, Dice 35 to XOR 33. The widest raw gap and the heaviest weighted swing fall on different criteria: Human Oversight Design (Dice 55, XOR 40) and Article 11 Technical Documentation at 20% (Dice 32, XOR 20), the second being 38% of the weighted advantage Dice holds across the 6 criteria on that side of the table.
Vendor profile
Dice
Dice is a US job marketplace and resume database for tech roles, run by DHI Group, whose employer tools use a proprietary skills knowledge graph and machine learning (IntelliSearch) to match, score and rank sourced candidates and applicants against job postings.
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
Dice is filed under Candidate sourcing AI, XOR under Screening AI. They record no secondary category in common.
Both are in scope of EU AI Act, Colorado AI Act, NYC LL 144 and Illinois HB 3773.

Weighted delta is the raw difference times the criterion weight, so the 6 figures above sum to +6.3 — the difference between the two totals before either is rounded. Shares are of 6.3 points of movement counted without direction. The table below rounds each side to a whole number first, so its Δ raw total reads +6 beside that +6.3.
§ Category-by-category
Raw score per criterion, with weighted delta.
Δ is Dice 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.

Dice has 32 evidence rows across 7 of 7 criteria — 25 with a source URL, 7 documented absences; XOR has 18 evidence rows across 7 of 7 criteria — 11 with a source URL, 7 documented absences; some documentation or audit rows for Dice sit on a domain separate from the vendor's own site.
Provenance
The scores above are documented by 50 evidence rows on file for these two vendors: 32 for Dice, across 4 distinct source domains, and 18 for XOR, across 1 distinct source domain.
