I was gonna say what Jadelady said. But if you really only missed that one you might've been set back 70 points or a little bit more but that's it. Otherwise, max Reputation still means max Reputation a.k.a getting the highest possible +Rep points at every single turn. So if you're not just 10-100 points away from it, that means you missed more than one option.

We can't advise you much other than following the walkthrough. Whenever you get points it's stated, pick those if you want the max. Whenever you level up to the next level the soonest is stated, check if you leveled up exactly there as well. Whenever a previous option has some point payoff later it's stated (no such thing in QB yet, but we did that for BOLAS). The bug in Ch4 was a one-time thing and it's only a few points of difference, not hundreds, but now the max for those who replayed is also stated. If you don't do these and you're far off, we won't have any idea why it is either.

I'm kinda starting to think I shouldn't even suggest keeping tabs on the max (I mean it isn't there for a LOT of walkthroughs and no one minds) because there are always these questions we really can't help with and the max rarely ended up mattering that much (seriously, IL is the only one where it makes a substantial difference). It seems useless in most cases and causes unnecessary stress for players and it'd spare me a lot of hours.
