What separates them
DRIFT scores 142 of 250 and ranks 29th of 251. GEOD scores 169 and ranks 7th. GEOD leads by 27 points, which is a wide enough margin that the framework is not ambivalent. DRIFT takes 5 of the 25 variables, GEOD takes 18, and 2 are level.

GEOD still has 53.8% of its eventual supply to enter circulation against 27.4% for DRIFT. On the same market capitalisation, a buyer of GEOD is taking the 2.16x dilution path and a buyer of DRIFT the 1.38x one.
GEOD is valued at $137.0M against $14.3M for DRIFT, a 9.6x difference. The larger of the two also scores higher, so the market and the framework agree on the ordering here.
DRIFT trades 99.24% below its all-time high and GEOD 20.9% below its own. Recovering the high needs 131.6x from DRIFT and 1.3x from GEOD, which is the same statement read as the return each one has to produce.
All 25 variables, head to head
Both tokens were scored by the same framework in the same pass, so the numbers are directly comparable. What a comparison adds over two separate pages is the gap: a 6 against a 6 is a non-event, a 9 against a 3 is the reason to hold one and not the other.
