§ The result
3 points separate Pulsifi and XOR.
Pulsifi (Assessment) edges XOR (Screening) by 3 points under rubric v1.0, 33 to 30. Pulsifi and XOR each lead 3 of the 7 criteria, with 1 level, though the side of the split Pulsifi holds (headed by Article 11 Technical Documentation) adds up to more weighted points. Article 11 Technical Documentation, at 20%, is the heaviest weighted swing and goes to Pulsifi (Pulsifi 30, XOR 20), 48% of the weighted advantage it holds, while the widest raw gap is Human Oversight Design, Pulsifi 55 to XOR 40.
Vendor profile
Pulsifi
Pulsifi gives candidates and employees 0-100 Role Fit and Organizational Fit scores that combine personality, work-interest, work-culture and cognitive assessments with AI resume and skills analysis, and uses the scores to rank people for hiring, internal mobility and succession.
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
Pulsifi is filed under Assessment 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 Pulsifi is in scope of Mobley v. Workday.

Weighted delta is the raw difference times the criterion weight, so the 6 figures above sum to +3.1 — the difference between the two totals before either is rounded. Shares are of 5.2 points of movement counted without direction. The table below rounds each side to a whole number first, so its Δ raw total reads +3 beside that +3.1.

§ 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.
