9 providers scored against each other.
Where the gap comes from
Two scores side by side say one is higher. This says why: the score is a weighted sum, so it comes apart, and each component’s share of the difference adds back to the difference exactly. Compared against PublicNode, the highest scorer of those selected.
PublicNodevsNodeReal
+19.4points
- Latency+19.6
- Head freshness−0.2
- Availability−0.0
- Correctness+0.0
The parts add to +19.4, exactly — the score is a weighted sum, so it comes apart.
PublicNodevsMerkle
+29.4points
- Latency+29.2
- Head freshness+0.2
- Availability−0.0
- Correctness+0.0
The parts add to +29.4, exactly — the score is a weighted sum, so it comes apart.
PublicNodevsCloudflare
+48.5points
- Availability+29.7
- Latency+11.6
- Head freshness*+9.4
- Correctness−2.2
The parts add to +48.5, exactly — the score is a weighted sum, so it comes apart. Components marked * were measured for only one of the two; the other’s weight is spread across what it does have, which is why the two sides can carry different weights for the same row.
