How much does modeling really matter?

Curious what people across different levels really think about financial modeling: what role it really plays in a transaction --- M&A, IPO, debt issuance, etc.

Junior people like analysts and associates probably do most of the heavy lifting on this.

If there is a % number you would attribute to modeling in terms of how important it is in a deal, what would it be?
