You have not mentioned trail, BB height, chainstay length,fork offset?
I could quote the whole geo chart for each but it doesn't fit the purpose. Yes the CX bike will have a higher BB than the road bike, and a longer wheel base and the gravel bike will have a lower BB than both. Those things are all to be expected but don't affect the feel of the ride as much as the angles and stack/reach. They don't provide the trail or fork offset.

I'm not convinced. If you make a tall bike* with your favourite bike as a the top half I bet you'd feel the difference, even though you would have kept the angles and S&R.
*yes, not the best exemple. X

Very good exemple, as I had both an Inflite (previous gen) and an Ultimate at the same time for a little while, and rode both on the road and hardpack grus. The Ultimate was faster, more stable and just a better ride, even on gravel.
