Neither is meaningfully harder - they pose close to the same test. The widest gap is variance, and it is a single point.

Axis by axis
Execution3 vs 3
Same score on execution - which means the number cannot separate them. The difference is in what each one asks of you.

Light combat and crafting timing.
Reads0 vs 0
Same score on reads - which means the number cannot separate them. The difference is in what each one asks of you.

Workshop scheduling and commissions reward optimization.
A matching score does not mean a matching test. Two games can both sit at 10 on execution and demand completely different things of you - which is why the reasoning above matters more than the number beside it.
