Axis by axis

Execution8 vs 8

Even - both lean on execution about the same.

Reads5 vs 5

Even - both lean on reads about the same.

Variance2 vs 2

Even - both lean on variance about the same.

Optimization3 vs 4

SpeedRunners leans harder on optimization: Optimal racing lines per track are learnable

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