Axis by axis
Execution5 vs 5

Outriders
Cover shooting and ability timing matter
Signalis
Careful aim and kiting in limited inventory combat matter
Reads1 vs 1
Same score on reads - which means the number cannot separate them. The difference is in what each one asks of you.

AI hordes are scripted aggression
Signalis
Replika AI follows aggressive scripted loops, not player modelling
Variance3 vs 3
Same score on variance - which means the number cannot separate them. The difference is in what each one asks of you.
Outriders
Loot rolls gate the build chase
Signalis
Enemy respawn timing and some item locations add limited uncertainty
Optimization7 vs 7
Same score on optimization - which means the number cannot separate them. The difference is in what each one asks of you.
Outriders
Class builds and mod stacking dominate endgame
Signalis
Inventory management, puzzle solutions and route planning are central
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.
