§ The result
Willo leads XOR on 6 of the 7 criteria.
Willo sits 11 points above XOR under rubric v1.0 — 41 against 30 — with Willo filed under Video interview and XOR under Screening. Willo leads 6 of the 7 criteria and the remaining criterion is level, so XOR is ahead on none of them; the closest of the 6 Willo leads is Post-Market Monitoring, Willo 36 to XOR 33. The widest raw gap and the heaviest weighted swing fall on different criteria: Human Oversight Design (Willo 62, XOR 40) and Article 11 Technical Documentation at 20% (Willo 38, XOR 20), the second being 33% of the weighted advantage Willo holds across the 6 criteria on that side of the table.
Vendor profile
Willo
Willo is a browser-based asynchronous (one-way) video interview platform that lets employers collect recorded video, audio, multiple-choice and written candidate responses, then uses AI to transcribe, summarize, rank candidates against employer-defined "Blueprint" criteria, and flag scripted or AI-generated answers.
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
Willo is filed under Video interview AI, XOR under Screening AI. They record no secondary category in common.
Both are in scope of NYC LL 144, EU AI Act, Illinois HB 3773 and Colorado AI Act. Only Willo is in scope of Mobley v. Workday.

Weighted delta is the raw difference times the criterion weight, so the 6 figures above sum to +10.9 — the difference between the two totals before either is rounded. Shares are of 10.9 points of movement counted without direction. The table below rounds each side to a whole number first, so its Δ raw total reads +11 beside that +10.9.

§ 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.
