But a trained model only becomes genuinely useful when something else can interact with it. This “something else” might be a web app, another backend service, a dashboard, or just a teammate who doesn’t want to open your R script and manually run predictions."

“When datasets are downloaded locally, they become much harder to govern. Data could be moved into environments that were not secure, and then unintentionally shared. Once that happens, it is incredibly difficult to fully recover or understand the scale of exposure.”
