Thanks for all your replies, everyone. I appreciate the input and agree with the sentiments—"time is money," "there's no such thing as a free lunch," and so on. However, I'm not looking for an employee; I'm seeking a partner, a team.

I understand that we all have bills to pay, and that data science is a well-compensated field. But it seems like some of you may have overlooked the work I've already invested. I'm not asking for compensation for that, but I do expect that we share the results of our research equally.

At the same time, some of you seem to want me to share my findings for free . I will share them, but not for free  —I'm suggesting a profit split instead. How does that sound ?
