§ The result
The Predictive Index leads XOR on all 7 criteria.
The Predictive Index finishes 18 points clear of XOR under rubric v1.0 — 48 against 30 — across the Assessment and Screening cohorts. The Predictive Index leads every one of the 7 criteria, XOR none of them, and the closest of the 7 is FRIA Support, The Predictive Index 35 to XOR 25. Article 11 Technical Documentation is the widest raw gap and the heaviest weighted swing at once (The Predictive Index 50, XOR 20, 20% weight), but it accounts for only 34% of the weighted advantage The Predictive Index holds across the 7 criteria on that side of the table.
Vendor profile
The Predictive Index
The Predictive Index provides validated behavioral and cognitive psychometric assessments used to screen, hire, and develop employees and design teams, alongside AI-assisted talent-management software.
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
The Predictive Index 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 The Predictive Index is in scope of Mobley v. Workday.

Weighted delta is the raw difference times the criterion weight, so the 7 figures above sum to +17.9 — the difference between the two totals before either is rounded. Shares are of 17.9 points of movement counted without direction. The table below rounds each side to a whole number first, so its Δ raw total reads +18 beside that +17.9.
§ Category-by-category
Raw score per criterion, with weighted delta.
Δ is The Predictive Index 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.
