Accept that you developed something interesting enough for that. It may still flop, but this is how you get the funding to find out whether it will flop. They aren't claiming clinical research has been done -- and when clinical research is done, that will answer your concerns. | |

| Apr 3, 2023 at 1:50 | comment | added | Amelian | @reirab I genuinely do not know. The week before the meeting they said me that I needed to present my project to an enterprise (a very renowned one) and a few hours before the meeting I understood they were asking for some kind of financial aid. Gladly my stay is ending soon and I will not have time to try to deploy the model (I have no idea how to do so, then I would need to find tutorials online) and the only thing I need to do now is to write a report and clean the repository with my code. | |
| Apr 3, 2023 at 1:04 | comment | added | reirab | @Amelian When you say, "they are looking for financial aid," are you talking about trying to sell the idea to a potential customer or trying to find investors to raise the funds needed to turn your idea into a product that can be sold and market it? It seems that some others are reading this as discussing with a potential customer, but I read your question as discussing with a potential investor. The two situations can be quite different. Especially if it's an investor, my advice would be to seek advice from a qualified lawyer in your jurisdiction in case of legal disclosure requirements. | |

When you work in industry, at a certain point you have to accept that the work you did is out of your hands. The business is (in the long run) too big for you to control what happens to your work product after it has left your desk. | |

| Apr 2, 2023 at 6:06 | comment | added | Amelian | Thank you for your useful words. The problem is that, when working on the project, I clearly stated I wasn't feeling comfortable labeling the data by myself, but they just dismissed my concerns. I thought it would remain as a toy-model and nothing else, but now that they are looking for financial aid I'm worried that my name will be involved in whatever they want to do with my (as you correctly name) amateur project. | |
