Pure modelling teams are a pointless waste of space. It's entirely analogous to setting up an SQL team and then telling everyone else not to run queries. More generally, in order to provide useful solutions, you need some domain and data expertise, which tends to come from engaging with product, the business and the data. If you don't have that, you may as well replace your modelling team with a giant loop over the sklearn fit and predict API.
