§ The result
Sapia.ai leads Talkpush on all 7 criteria.
Sapia.ai sits 10 points above Talkpush under rubric v1.0 — 56 against 46 — with Sapia.ai filed under Assessment and Talkpush under Screening. Sapia.ai is ahead of Talkpush on all 7 criteria but on none of them by as much as 20 raw points, the closest being Customer Documentation at Sapia.ai 62 to Talkpush 60. Article 11 Technical Documentation is the widest raw gap and the heaviest weighted swing at once (Sapia.ai 70, Talkpush 52, 20% weight), but it accounts for only 34% of the weighted advantage Sapia.ai holds across the 7 criteria on that side of the table.
