Direct answer
Deity equivalence method — Method is implemented as a source-bounded method guide.
Answer contract
Answer only the method question for Deity equivalence method inside the manual boundary and inspected source scopes; label source, translation, period, rights, and uncertainty explicitly.
Evidence and exact locators
freiberger-comparison-method — §2 comparative configuration and process; §3 conclusions; pp. 1–14. Supports: Defines comparison as a research design with declared goals, mode, scale, scope, comparands, criteria, description, juxtaposition, redescription, rectification, and theory formation.
bojadzievska-comparative-mythology — Abstract; references; article identity and licence notice. Supports: Surveys linguistic, psychological, anthropological, structural, and phylogenetic approaches and notes multiple possible explanations for cross-cultural similarity.
What the evidence does not establish
The framework does not make a selected comparison criterion natural, prove two figures identical, or validate a historical diffusion claim.
A possible explanation is not evidence of common origin, diffusion, identity, or universality in a particular comparison.
