The people who did not finish are not a rounding error; they are the untrained fraction of your attack surface, and attackers only need one of them.
Coverage is not protection
Buying a course for everyone covers everyone on paper. Protection only arrives when a person actually learns the thing. The distance between those two, purchased versus finished, is exactly the distance between a compliance checkbox and a reduced incident rate.
So treat completion as a leading indicator of risk, track it per team, and chase the stragglers with reminders and short deadlines. It is the cheapest risk reduction you will do all year.
