If you have an impedance analyzer you can trust, and if you are using a
1/4 wave vertical (full size, not loaded), and if your ground is
perfect, you should measure about 36 ohms at the feedpoint. Any
measurement higher than that is due to ground loss.

But in practical terms, how do you get a "perfect" earth ground reference
for the analyzer to use when making the measurement?
