Is there a primary source (a named previs supervisor, studio or published study) giving a proportion of previs that is used versus discarded?

No proportion was found in the sources actually read. The one pinned primary statement is a qualitative one from a named Third Floor previs editor (Ian Differ, ProVideo Coalition interview, 11 August 2018): sometimes previs work ends up in the film and sometimes it does not. A '99 percent' figure in the same interview is about where handheld camera shake comes from, not retention, and should not be cited as a discard rate. The negative is scoped to the pages read plus web-search leads that were not fetched.

Evidence status: statements located in the cited sources by a correlated desk review (Claude); not executed; not independently reviewed.
