Is 96.4% a realistic purity ceiling for tirzepatide given its chain length?

Concretely: 96.4% · tirzepatide.

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.

How many significant figures are actually justified here?
