“ it's pretty inconceivable that the model could become copyrightable”

If it costs $10 million to find information/weightings/etc., our current legal system would consider that intellectual property which might not be copyrightable but would be considered IP theft if stolen.

Yes, it could be a trade secret, but if the trade secrecy would still apply is extraordinarily fact specific.

If they were negligent in handling it, e.g. left it on a publicly accessible share and some member of the public stumbled into it, then trade secret protection would likely be lost.

If some employee violated their NDA and snuck it out-- well that would be a different matter. etc.
