I don't have any, I'm afraid. Perhaps Bob Binder has some.

He was citing 100% as an exit criteria. I've not read his book, though. I 
get the impression he is achieving it by, well, testing. Writing some 
tests, then measuring the coverage, and if it is less than 100% writing 
more tests and repeating. In other words, his methodology does not 
naturally produce 100% coverage first time; he only gets that after using 
feedback from the coverage tool.
