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

+12.0points

  • Latency+11.6
  • Head freshness+0.4
  • Availability+0.0
  • Correctness+0.0

The parts add to +12.0, exactly — the score is a weighted sum, so it comes apart.

NodeRealvsCloudflare

+36.0points

  • Availability+29.8
  • Head freshness*+9.6
  • Correctness2.2
  • Latency1.2

The parts add to +36.0, 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.
