I should add that with a bit of experience you can learnt to interpret
these.

A build with a ~20% match often means the do_populate_lic sstate
matched and nothing else did. That means there is a fair amount of work
to be done.

On the other hand, the 69% is fairly positive as a large chunk of the
build is already complete.

I'm basing this just on having watched a few builds on the
autobuilder...

Cheers,

Richard
