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

+11.0points

  • Latency+11.2
  • Head freshness0.2
  • Correctness+0.0
  • Availability0.0

The parts add to +11.0, exactly — the score is a weighted sum, so it comes apart.

PublicNodevsMerkle

+19.7points

  • Latency+19.6
  • Head freshness+0.1
  • Availability0.0
  • Correctness0.0

The parts add to +19.7, exactly — the score is a weighted sum, so it comes apart.

PublicNodevsCloudflare

+44.3points

  • Availability+29.7
  • Head freshness*+9.4
  • Latency+7.4
  • Correctness2.2

The parts add to +44.3, 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.
