Q & A Highlights
Q: Can you elaborate on the statement of work with your largest customer and its potential impact? A: The statement of work will allow our customer to use us in a new division of their Gen AI spend, which we haven't supported before. This new area has a significantly higher budget than our current programs, which is very exciting. (Jack Applehoff, CEO)
Q: How does the potential 5% revenue decrease from your largest customer in Q2 relate to the new statement of work? A: The potential decrease is separate from the new statement of work, which is an additional opportunity. The customer's requirements are dynamic, and we incorporate these changes into our guidance.

Q: What is your win rate for new customer opportunities? A: Win rate is challenging to track, but once we start small and build trust, we win a large percentage of those opportunities. Our strategy is to prove ourselves and expand from there, which is currently coming together well. (Jack Applehoff, CEO)
