Axis by axis

Execution10 vs 10

Even - both lean on execution about the same.

Reads0 vs 0

Even - both lean on reads about the same.

Variance1 vs 0

Neon White leans harder on variance: Fixed levels with no randomness; entirely deterministic

Optimization6 vs 7

Trackmania leans harder on optimization: Line optimization and shortcut discovery matter heavily.
