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
+8.2points
- Latency+8.1
- Head freshness+0.3
- Availability−0.1
- Correctness+0.0
The parts add to +8.2, exactly — the score is a weighted sum, so it comes apart.
NodeRealvs1RPC
+25.5points
- Latency+16.3
- Availability+7.9
- Head freshness+0.7
- Correctness+0.6
The parts add to +25.5, exactly — the score is a weighted sum, so it comes apart.
NodeRealvsCloudflare
+29.7points
- Availability+29.6
- Head freshness*+9.6
- Latency−7.3
- Correctness−2.2
The parts add to +29.7, 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.
