This table aggregates all verisimilitude scores across 81 items in 12 categories (A-L). The Global Scorecard & Conclusion contains this same data plus final analysis. Malay scores use the Wiang Sa variant for Category L (highest-scoring Malay candidate for physical geography).

South India dominates across all 12 categories. At 89% overall (287/324), the South India/Taprobane model scores 25 percentage points above its nearest competitor (Malay at 64%) and 36 points above the traditional Mesoamerican model (53%). It achieves two perfect category scores (Weapons 100%, Religion 100%) and never drops below 72% in any category. Even in Physical Geography — Mesoamerica's expected strongest domain — South India leads at 80%, driven by Adam's Bridge as a textually precise narrow neck, strong north-south structural alignment, and the seismically active zone along the Indian plate boundary.
The Malay model is a strong second. At 64% (208/324), it outperforms Mesoamerica across the board on material culture categories (Fauna, Metallurgy, Flora, Transport, Economy) while trailing in the institutional categories (Government, Religion, Writing). Physical Geography is Malay's second-strongest showing at 73%, with the Kra Isthmus providing an excellent narrow neck and the Wiang Sa variant benefiting from the Khlong Marui fault zone for Item 81 (natural disasters).
