The weight/importance of the biggest clients Explanation: important (français) = big (English) "Weight" if the text considers the relative effect of the clients in relation to the whole operation and how it affects the operation (the business), "importance" when its simply the overall, general importance those clients have (in the overall sales, for example). |

share of the biggest clients Explanation: If it is a financial text, I would believe "share" is a good option, especially if you are given the percentage of the c.a. per client afterwards. |

6 hrs confidence:
Importance of the largest customers Explanation: One must guess at the context. However, "les clients les plus importants" means "the best or largest customers" depending on the multiple meanings of "important". Then, "poids" refers to the relative weight of these customers, best translated (ironically) by "importance". |

15 hrs confidence: peer agreement (net): +2
peer agreement (net): +2key client data Explanation: I think what they want to say is here is the data concerning our biggest clients and from that you can deduce their relative importance. As a title though, you're right, it sounds strange, so probably best to simplify. |
