The relative sensitivity of different direct detection experiments dependssensitively on the astrophysical distribution and particle physics nature ofdark matter, prohibiting a model-independent comparison. The situation changesfundamentally if two experiments employ the same target material. We show thatin this case one can compare measurements of an annual modulation and exclusionbounds on the total rate while making no assumptions on astrophysics and no (oronly very general) assumptions on particle physics. In particular, we show thatthe dark matter interpretation of the DAMA/LIBRA signal can be conclusivelytested with COSINUS, a future experiment employing the same target material. Wefind that if COSINUS excludes a dark matter scattering rate of about$0.01\,\text{kg}^{-1}\,\text{days}^{-1}$ with an energy threshold of $1.8\,$keVand resolution of $0.2\,$keV, it will rule out all explanations of DAMA/LIBRAin terms of dark matter scattering off sodium and/or iodine.
