One way to assess the validity of prior claims is to see how many words you can translate using their proposed system.
But the entire corpus for Linear A is tiny, you could backfill a "translation" that has no actual similarity with the real language when properly tested against novel examples. How was this tested?
of course we have no way to assess this claim as there is no public software or paper to review
