Verbal protocol study demonstrates effectual reasoning in decision making among expert entrepreneurs, indicating significant use between reasoning types.
Recent theorizing in entrepreneurship has proposed effectuation as a dominant decision model in entrepreneurial decision making.

In quantitative terms, over 63% of the subjects used effectuation more than 75% of the time.
