## Where it stands

**Disputed** One piece of evidence for, one against. It needs two reviews to be accepted.

## What it predicts

- The assumed sign-value transfers from Linear A and B to the disc are justified independently.
- The reading of all 61 groups is published with its values so that others can test it.

## What would rule it out

- Look-alike signs are shown to have different values in the two scripts, or the published reading cannot be reproduced.
