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

Same score on execution - which means the number cannot separate them. The difference is in what each one asks of you.

Same score on optimization - which means the number cannot separate them. The difference is in what each one asks of you.

Perks, flaws, dialogue routing rewarded
