§ The result
Tengai leads Turing on all 7 criteria.
Tengai scores 42 and Turing 36 under rubric v1.0, a 6-point gap across the Screening and Assessment cohorts. Tengai is ahead of Turing on all 7 criteria but on none of them by as much as 20 raw points, the closest being Article 11 Technical Documentation at Tengai 45 to Turing 42. The advantage Tengai holds is spread out: Human Oversight Design is both the widest raw gap and the heaviest weighted swing (Tengai 58, Turing 45, 12% weight), yet it supplies only 27% of the weighted points Tengai gains across the 7 criteria it leads.
Vendor profile
Tengai
Tengai runs structured screening interviews through a browser-based AI avatar and combines candidates' yes/no qualification answers, a Five-Factor-based personality score and recruiter ratings of open answers into an automatically ranked shortlist.
Vendor profile
Turing
Turing is an AI-powered talent platform that vets software engineers through automated multi-stage technical assessments and uses machine-learned ranking to score, match, and place them with client companies.
§ The record
Tengai is filed under Screening AI, Turing under Assessment AI. They record no secondary category in common.
Both are in scope of EU AI Act, NYC LL 144, Illinois HB 3773, Colorado AI Act and Mobley v. Workday.

Weighted delta is the raw difference times the criterion weight, so the 7 figures above sum to +5.7 — the difference between the two totals before either is rounded. Shares are of 5.7 points of movement counted without direction. The table below rounds each side to a whole number first, so its Δ raw total reads +6 beside that +5.7.

§ 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.
