Best answer here. I am in the exact same situation BUT I actually share the code from the get go because of the need to understand decisions (and GDPR is going to make that even more important). If the OP company is doing something that is not possible elsewhere then fine but if they are just allowing them to goto market faster then the effort to re-engineer and get working (particularly in the AI/ML space) is pretty time consuming. EDIT: I think that the time of proprietary algorithms as MOATS are an old way. Things are moving SO fast now that your business is going to be outdated with the next release of Tensorflow or whatever is over the horizon.
