§ The result
Tenzo AI leads XOR on all 7 criteria.
Rubric v1.0 separates Tenzo AI and XOR, both Screening entries, by 26 points: 56 for Tenzo AI, 30 for XOR. XOR leads none of the 7 criteria, and Tenzo AI is ahead on 3 of them by 20 raw points or more, Bias Audit Transparency among them. Bias Audit Transparency is both the widest raw gap and the heaviest weighted swing — Tenzo AI 83, XOR 18 — and at an 18% weight it carries 45% of the weighted advantage Tenzo AI holds across the 7 criteria on that side of the table.
Vendor profile
Tenzo AI
Tenzo AI's AI recruiter, Morgan, screens and interviews applicants by phone, SMS, email, WhatsApp or video in 40+ languages, scores them against employer-defined rubrics with fraud and identity checks, schedules next rounds, and writes scores, transcripts and recordings back to the customer's ATS.
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
Tenzo AI and XOR are both filed under Screening AI. They also share 1 secondary category: Scheduling.
Both are in scope of EU AI Act, NYC LL 144, Illinois HB 3773 and Colorado AI Act. Only Tenzo AI is in scope of Mobley v. Workday.

1.1 weighted points to Tenzo AI
Weighted delta is the raw difference times the criterion weight, so the 7 figures above sum to +25.9 — the difference between the two totals before either is rounded. Shares are of 25.9 points of movement counted without direction. The table below rounds each side to a whole number first, so its Δ raw total reads +26 beside that +25.9.
§ Category-by-category
Raw score per criterion, with weighted delta.
Δ is Tenzo AI 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.

Tenzo AI has 34 evidence rows across 7 of 7 criteria — 30 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 Tenzo AI sit on a domain separate from the vendor's own site.
Provenance
The scores above are documented by 52 evidence rows on file for these two vendors: 34 for Tenzo AI, across 2 distinct source domains, and 18 for XOR, across 1 distinct source domain.
