Axis by axis
Execution1 vs 2
Sable leans a little harder on execution, though the gap is small.
Nobody Wants to Die
Guided investigation scenes need no dexterity
Sable
Gliding and climbing are gentle.
Reads0 vs 0
Same score on reads - which means the number cannot separate them. The difference is in what each one asks of you.

The killer is an authored mystery, not an adapting mind
Sable
No adversaries.
Variance2 vs 2
Same score on variance - which means the number cannot separate them. The difference is in what each one asks of you.
Nobody Wants to Die
Evidence is scripted-but-unknown until reconstructed
Sable
Open-world discoveries vary little.
Optimization3 vs 3
Same score on optimization - which means the number cannot separate them. The difference is in what each one asks of you.
Nobody Wants to Die
Reconstruction tools make deductions mostly guided
Sable
Quest routing has shallow 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.
