§ The result
Test Partnership leads impress.ai on all 7 criteria.
Test Partnership sits 12 points above impress.ai under rubric v1.0 — 50 against 38 — with Test Partnership filed under Assessment and impress.ai under Screening. Test Partnership leads every one of the 7 criteria, impress.ai none of them, and the closest of the 7 is Post-Market Monitoring, impress.ai 32 to Test Partnership 33. Bias Audit Transparency is the widest raw gap and the heaviest weighted swing at once (impress.ai 22, Test Partnership 48, 18% weight), but it accounts for only 38% of the weighted advantage Test Partnership holds across the 7 criteria on that side of the table.
