Call me a close-minded radical denialist, but I would say zero.
The candidates presented so far (*) never had their equivalent of BFRO or BFF, such as a Giant Squid Research Organization (GSRO) or the Coelacanthus Forums (CoF) and their fauna... These animals were described, their specimens were collected by biologists and not by cryptozoologists. Actually cryptozoologists never found anything, despite quite often trying to bask in or use real biologists' works to vindicate their beliefs or bring legitimacy to their claims. even if you bring out-of-place-animals in to the fray, compare the quality of evidence backing sixgill sharks at Seattle with big cats in England... Now, that's "habituation", not the Fox bigfoot tall tales...
Crackpotzoology, I mean cryptozoology is not about real animals; its about fantasy. Living dinosaurs, giant apes at your backyard
(*) ETA: as cryptids shown later to be real.
