Related party dependency

Limits
This story describes structural exposure, not conflict prediction. It does not predict that related party arrangements are unfavorable or that conflicts exist. Many related party transactions occur at arm's length and create value.
Explanation
This vulnerability describes a structural exposure: Related Party Transaction Ratio indicates magnitude of affiliated dealings. Affiliated Revenue Concentration shows dependency on related party customers or suppliers. Governance Independence indicates oversight of these arrangements. When related party dependency is elevated, the company's results include transactions with parties that have shared interests. The terms and continuity of these arrangements affect financial performance.
Interpretation
This story identifies related party dependency, not conflict prediction. It does not claim arrangements are inappropriate or that terms are unfavorable. Many related party transactions are legitimate and beneficial.
