§ The result
Harver leads XOR on all 7 criteria.
Rubric v1.0 puts 26 points between Harver (Assessment) and XOR (Screening): 56 for Harver, 30 for XOR. Harver leads every one of the 7 criteria, XOR none of them, and the closest of the 7 is Post-Market Monitoring, Harver 40 to XOR 33. Bias Audit Transparency is both the widest raw gap and the heaviest weighted swing — Harver 80, XOR 18 — and at an 18% weight it carries 42% of the weighted advantage Harver holds across the 7 criteria on that side of the table.
Vendor profile
Harver
Pre-employment assessment suite covering cognitive ability, behavioral, and situational judgement, including the legacy Pymetrics games product.
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
Harver 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 Harver is in scope of Mobley v. Workday.

Weighted delta is the raw difference times the criterion weight, so the 7 figures above sum to +26.6 — the difference between the two totals before either is rounded. Shares are of 26.6 points of movement counted without direction. The table below rounds each side to a whole number first, so its Δ raw total reads +26 beside that +26.6.
§ Category-by-category
Raw score per criterion, with weighted delta.
Δ is Harver 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.
