§ The result
PageUp leads XOR on all 7 criteria.
Rubric v1.0 puts 34 points between PageUp (ATS-integrated) and XOR (Screening): 64 (D) for PageUp, 30 (F) for XOR. PageUp leads every one of the 7 criteria and 5 of them by 20 raw points or more, Bias Audit Transparency among them; XOR leads none. The advantage PageUp holds is spread out: Bias Audit Transparency is both the widest raw gap and the heaviest weighted swing (PageUp 80, XOR 18, 18% weight), yet it supplies only 33% of the weighted points PageUp gains across the 7 criteria it leads.
Vendor profile
PageUp
PageUp is an enterprise talent acquisition suite (ATS, recruitment marketing/CRM, onboarding, learning and performance). Its AI Skills Matching sorts each applicant's resume against skills taken from the job ad into five bands, from Excellent Match to Not a Match, and recruiters reach those results through Paige, its conversational assistant.
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
PageUp is filed under ATS-integrated AI, XOR under Screening AI. They record no secondary category in common.
Both are in scope of EU AI Act, NYC LL 144, Colorado AI Act and Illinois HB 3773.

Weighted delta is the raw difference times the criterion weight, so the 7 figures above sum to +34.1 — the difference between the two totals before either is rounded. Shares are of 34.1 points of movement counted without direction. The table below rounds each side to a whole number first, so its Δ raw total reads +34 beside that +34.1.

Raw score per criterion, with weighted delta.
Δ is PageUp 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.

PageUp has 28 evidence rows across 7 of 7 criteria — 24 with a source URL, 4 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 PageUp sit on a domain separate from the vendor's own site.
Provenance
The scores above are documented by 46 evidence rows on file for these two vendors: 28 for PageUp, across 2 distinct source domains, and 18 for XOR, across 1 distinct source domain.
