1. Full control to tailor the model to its unique data and needs, creating differentiation competitors using shared services cannot replicate. ✓

   Correct: owning the model lets the retailer customize deeply on proprietary data and build differentiation, the core opportunity of building in-house.
2. A guarantee that the model will require no ongoing monitoring, tuning or maintenance at all once it has been trained and put into production.

   Plausible but wrong: proprietary models still need continuous monitoring and upkeep; ownership does not remove that obligation.
3. Automatic transfer of all output-related legal liability to the open-source community that contributed to the model's design.

   Plausible but wrong: building your own model concentrates liability on you rather than transferring it to any community.
4. An assurance that regulators will exempt the finished system from oversight because it was engineered entirely in-house.

   Plausible but wrong: in-house development confers no regulatory exemption; obligations typically increase rather than disappear.
