Is 97.6% a realistic purity ceiling for liraglutide given its chain length?

Conditions: 97.6% · liraglutide.

I want the working, not the result — I need to be able to redo it with different numbers.

I care about the precision as well as the value — I want to know how many figures are real.

Is my approach right even if my number is wrong?
