Curious what everyone is seeing out there as far as specific fee structures and overall fees for sub $10M transactions?

-Hourly?
-Deferred or partially deferred fees and associated terms?
-Success fees?
-Broken-deal discounts?
-Flat-fee models and scope / milestones?
-Hybrid models?

Flat fee is certainly becoming more and more popular for smaller deals, but hourly is still the most common in my experience.
