Comparison of the retrieval performance of the true opaque H₂SO₄ cloud model with the other models via the Bayes factor K. We use the Jeffreys scale as metric for comparison (see Table 4, Jeffreys 1998) and consider different wavelength coverages, R, and S/N of the simulated Venus-twin LIFE observations. Green squares (positive log₁₀(K) values) indicate that the correct model (opaque H₂SO₄ clouds) is preferred, red squares (negative log₁₀(K) values) mark preference for the incorrect model. The intensity of coloring represents the preference strength.
