For FY2022, three clients (TELUS, a leading social media company, and Google) accounted for **17.3%**, **15.0%**, and **11.9%** of revenue, respectively.

The wellness programs in place may be insufficient, potentially leading to higher attrition, increased costs, and legal claims[85](index=85&type=chunk)[86](index=86&type=chunk) - The classification of data annotators for the TIAI business as independent contractors is a risk. If they were reclassified as employees, the company could incur significant additional expenses for wages, benefits, and taxes[92](index=92&type=chunk)[93](index=93&type=chunk) [Financial Risks](index=20&type=section&id=FINANCIAL%20RISKS) The company faces financial risks from pricing model inaccuracies, client concentration, operational variability, foreign currency fluctuations, and tax incentive dependency - Three clients (TELUS, a leading social media company, and Google) accounted for a combined **44.2%** of revenue in 2022.

Non-compliance could lead to fines, sanctions, and reputational damage[121](index=121&type=chunk) - Unauthorized disclosure of sensitive client, customer, or employee data through cyberattacks or other breaches poses a major risk, potentially exposing the company to litigation, fines, and loss of business[122](index=122&type=chunk)[126](index=126&type=chunk)[127](index=127&type=chunk) -
