What is a Good M&A Completion Rate?

Obviously this depends on what else is going on in the market and the nature of engagements you're taking on so maybe peg it to the specific industry you're in. For where I'm at (TMT) in today's market, we're looking at ~70% success rate on sell-sides probably. I'm at not-the-best firm so I'm just curious how this measures up.
