§ The result
TestGorilla leads XOR on all 7 criteria.
TestGorilla finishes 17 points clear of XOR under rubric v1.0 — 47 against 30 — across the Assessment and Screening cohorts. TestGorilla leads every one of the 7 criteria and 3 of them by 20 raw points or more, Article 11 Technical Documentation among them; XOR leads none. Article 11 Technical Documentation is the widest raw gap and the heaviest weighted swing at once (TestGorilla 52, XOR 20, 20% weight), but it accounts for only 38% of the weighted advantage TestGorilla holds across the 7 criteria on that side of the table.
Vendor profile
TestGorilla
TestGorilla is a pre-employment skills-assessment platform offering a large test library plus AI features for resume scoring, candidate sourcing, and one-way/conversational AI video interviews to support skills-based hiring.
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
TestGorilla 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 TestGorilla is in scope of Mobley v. Workday.

Weighted delta is the raw difference times the criterion weight, so the 7 figures above sum to +16.6 — the difference between the two totals before either is rounded. Shares are of 16.6 points of movement counted without direction. The table below rounds each side to a whole number first, so its Δ raw total reads +17 beside that +16.6.

§ 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.
