Axis by axis

Execution7 vs 7

Even - both lean on execution about the same.

Reads0 vs 0

Even - both lean on reads about the same.

Variance1 vs 2

Indianapolis 500: The Simulation leans harder on variance: Mechanical failures and traffic add some run-to-run noise

Optimization7 vs 7

Even - both lean on optimization about the same.

Two games can score the same on an axis and still test it in very different ways - read each rationale, not just the number.
