§ The result
Knockri leads XOR on all 7 criteria.
Under rubric v1.0, Knockri (Video interview) opens a 17-point lead on XOR (Screening), 47 to 30. Of the 7 criteria XOR wins none, and the narrowest lead Knockri holds is on Post-Market Monitoring, Knockri 35 to XOR 33. Article 11 Technical Documentation is both the widest raw gap and the heaviest weighted swing — Knockri 55, XOR 20 — and at a 20% weight it carries 42% of the weighted advantage Knockri holds across the 7 criteria on that side of the table.
Vendor profile
Knockri
Knockri runs asynchronous structured behavioural interviews that candidates answer by audio, video or text; it transcribes the answers, uses NLP models to score the work-related behaviours they describe against a skills framework, and produces per-skill scores and ranked shortlists.
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
Knockri is filed under Video interview AI, XOR under Screening AI. They record no secondary category in common.
Both are in scope of NYC LL 144, EU AI Act, Illinois HB 3773 and Colorado AI Act. Only Knockri is in scope of Mobley v. Workday.

Weighted delta is the raw difference times the criterion weight, so the 7 figures above sum to +16.7 — the difference between the two totals before either is rounded. Shares are of 16.7 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 +16.7.

§ 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.
