1. A method for a vendor to facilitate training a model using data from a customer, the model containing algorithms, a training process involving the data from the customer being present in a training infrastructure, the method comprising:
including the algorithms of the model into a training module, the training module existing in an encrypted form;
communicating the training module from a vendor's computer system to a customer's computer system;
operating the training module on the customer's computer system using the data from the customer;
achieving a trained training module after operating the training module on the customer's computer system;
using a portion of the trained training module to initialize at least one operational module, and using a remaining portion of the trained training module to initialize at least one insight module;
communicating the at least one insight module from the customer's computer system to the vendor's computer system, the at least one insight module being usable only by the vendor's computer system;
beginning scoring observations using the at least one operational module; and
completing scoring observations using the at least one insight module.
