I’ve seen a similar approach taken in business through the use of the OKR process (objective key results), which in a common formulation targets 70% completion for similar reasons to you: at 100% completion you are being too conservative and not stretching, and at less your just not getting enough done. It’s just as important to target failure as it is success because if you never fail yoyur not talking on enough risk to succeed long-term.
In a previous role I had an informal target of having 50% of our tests fail every year. It was essentially a check that we weren’t getting complacent and just doing what we already knew.
