§ The result
Test Partnership leads XOR on 6 of the 7 criteria.
Under rubric v1.0, Test Partnership (Assessment) opens a 20-point lead on XOR (Screening), 50 to 30. XOR is ahead on none of the 7 criteria: Test Partnership takes 6, the remaining criterion is level, and the nearest of those 6 is FRIA Support, Test Partnership 36 to XOR 25. Article 11 Technical Documentation is the widest raw gap and the heaviest weighted swing at once (Test Partnership 57, XOR 20, 20% weight), but it accounts for only 37% of the weighted advantage Test Partnership holds across the 6 criteria on that side of the table.
Vendor profile
Test Partnership
Test Partnership publishes computer-adaptive aptitude tests, the TPAQ personality questionnaire and MindmetriQ game-based cognitive assessments. Employers review, rank and export the resulting norm-referenced percentile and sten scores in its dashboard, through its API or in integrated ATSs.
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
Test Partnership 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 Test Partnership is in scope of Mobley v. Workday.

1.1 weighted points to Test Partnership
Weighted delta is the raw difference times the criterion weight, so the 6 figures above sum to +20.0 — the difference between the two totals before either is rounded. Shares are of 20.0 points of movement counted without direction. The table below rounds each side to a whole number first, so its Δ raw total reads +20 beside that +20.0.

§ 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.
