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 NodeReal, the highest scorer of those selected.
NodeRealvsMerkle
+10.2points
- Latency+10.1
- Head freshness+0.1
- Availability−0.1
- Correctness−0.0
The parts add to +10.2, exactly — the score is a weighted sum, so it comes apart.
NodeRealvsMEV Blocker
+11.0points
- Latency+11.0
- Head freshness+0.1
- Availability−0.1
- Correctness+0.0
The parts add to +11.0, exactly — the score is a weighted sum, so it comes apart.
NodeRealvsCloudflare
+33.0points
- Availability+29.6
- Head freshness*+9.6
- Latency−4.0
- Correctness−2.2
The parts add to +33.0, 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.
