Axis by axis
Execution1 vs 2
PC Building Simulator leans harder on execution: Careful part assembly is procedural, not twitchy.
Reads0 vs 0
Even - both lean on reads about the same.
Variance1 vs 1
Even - both lean on variance about the same.
Optimization6 vs 7
PC Building Simulator leans harder on optimization: Diagnosing builds and budgeting parts for jobs is the whole game.
Two games can score the same on an axis and still test it in very different ways - read each rationale, not just the number.
