Model Marketplace: An Executive Playbook to Catalog, Certify, and Monetize Reusable Models

Enterprises waste time, money, and trust when every team rebuilds similar models or reuses uncertified artifacts. This 20‑minute executive monologue opens with a concise vignette where duplicated churn-detection models produced inconsistent customer outcomes and ballooning costs. Mirko then delivers a non-technical playbook for building an internal Model Marketplace: how to inventory candidate models, set certification gates (performance, lineage, data-provenance, SLOs), design internal pricing or showback, and create a lightweight catalog and governance board to approve reuse. The episode includes pragmatic artifacts executives can commission immediately—catalog taxonomy, certification checklist, contract snippets for internal SLAs, and a 30–90 day pilot to certify the top 10 reuse candidates. Listeners get board-ready KPIs (reuse rate, cost-saved-per-model, certification latency) and negotiation language to align product, platform, procurement, and legal.
