Axis by axis
Execution8 vs 7
Chained Together leans harder on execution: Chained jumps where one slip drops the whole team
Reads0 vs 0
Even - both lean on reads about the same.
Variance1 vs 1
Even - both lean on variance about the same.
Optimization4 vs 3
Chained Together leans harder on optimization: Learning the route and chain physics cuts resets
Two games can score the same on an axis and still test it in very different ways - read each rationale, not just the number.
