QUERY Fraction of Projects Qualitative (SD6064)

At the International System Dynamics Conference in Boston in 2005, I recall
a presenter making the comment that 75 percent of system dynamics projects
stop with the creation and use of qualitative models, leaving 25 percent of
the projects to be quantified.

Unfortunately, I did not note who made the comment or what support was
provided for the statement.  Can any list serve members shed light on this
estimate?

If nothing else, how does the percentage compare to your experiences as
system dynamics modelers?

I appreciate any help that is provided.
