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
+13.8points
- Latency+14.0
- Head freshness−0.2
- Availability−0.0
- Correctness−0.0
The parts add to +13.8, exactly — the score is a weighted sum, so it comes apart.
PublicNodevsMerkle
+26.4points
- Latency+26.4
- Availability−0.0
- Head freshness−0.0
- Correctness−0.0
The parts add to +26.4, exactly — the score is a weighted sum, so it comes apart.
PublicNodevsCloudflare
+47.2points
- Availability+29.7
- Latency+10.3
- Head freshness*+9.4
- Correctness−2.2
The parts add to +47.2, 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.
