## Where it stands

**Most likely** Its tests partly supported it: two pieces of evidence for, none against. It needs two reviews to be accepted.

## What it predicts

- Shared sign shapes behave statistically alike in the disc and in Linear A.
- A decipherment of Linear A reads the disc, and vice versa.

## What would rule it out

- A secure reading of the disc in a language that Linear A demonstrably is not.
