It's pretty simple. You look at the scores, go kill something, and then look at the scores again. Unless I made a typo or something, I'm very confident.

Note that colonies and their population indirectly add to the score by producing the resource/research/intelligence points.
Yes, but a fully developed, breathable colony bristling with WP's and satellites with an enemy transport in orbit counts the same as, well, nothing. It's far too easy to reduce an enemy's score down to where they surrender.
