A purity result and a fill result answer different questions

Editorial composite. This alias and dialogue are rewritten from recurring evidence questions. They do not identify a community member or reproduce a private conversation.

A report can show high purity while the measured quantity differs from the label. Those findings are not interchangeable. Purity describes the composition of what was detected; quantity addresses how much was measured in the submitted sample.

If a summary keeps only the more flattering percentage, the reader loses the second result and its denominator. A useful post should name each test, reproduce its measured value, preserve the label claim, and avoid turning one sample into a statement about every vial.

The compact summary could show two lines: purity measured and quantity measured. That keeps a strong result in one field from visually overwriting a weak or missing result in the other.

And “not measured” needs its own state. Treating a missing quantity result as either a pass or a failure creates certainty that the report does not contain.
