Possibly. But I think it'd be worth providing some similar statistics for
context (fictional examples only, but realistic guesses):

  * The existing telephone system figures 99 per cent of serious
    and organised crime fraud investigations.

  * The car and/or truck figures 95 per cent of serious and
    organised crime fraud investigations.

  * Breathing oxygen figures 100 per cent of serious and organised
    crime fraud investigations.

We can assert all sorts of interesting figures, but there's no logical link
that I can see.
