A common rent-seeking practice where vendors design structures and contracts to give them control of customer data and code. The steps involved in vendor lock-in are: 1) Identify lower-IQ management to engage with 2) Insert clauses into contracts where vendor retains customer data and limit customer access 3) Insert clauses into contracts where code development commissioned by the customer is proprietary to the vendor 4) Say whatever is necessary to ensure customer is at ease with the clauses, but ensure no such record 5) Sell customer's own data back to them, piecemeal 6) Resell the output of the code each time it is run 7) Collect economic profits
