Where NASA and ESA disagree
The agencies use different software (JPL's Sentry-II vs ESA's Aegis), different observation weighting, and different cut-offs for which objects to list. For most shared objects they agree within a factor of three; the rest are below.

Large factors usually mean the agencies' orbit solutions use different observation sets or weighting; a different number of virtual impactors (VIs) shows they found different possible impact trajectories.

Objects listed by only one agency are almost always at the very bottom of the risk range, near each agency's listing threshold.
