Axis by axis

Execution6 vs 6

Even - both lean on execution about the same.

Reads0 vs 1

Prototype 2 leans harder on reads: Blackwatch and infected never adapt

Variance2 vs 2

Even - both lean on variance about the same.

Optimization4 vs 5

Prototype 2 leans harder on optimization: Mutation upgrades and target-hunting routes reward planning

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