Use cases/Engineers and contractors
When engineers and contractors leave, your code stays with you.
Employees, contractors and outside teams all work on your code. Lock the files that matter, so nobody leaves with a copy they can read.

In short
Taking away a developer's access on their last day does not remove the copies they already hold. NakodaX locks the files that hold your business logic, so engineers and contractors build against stand ins and never hold a readable copy. Real changes need an approved session and are recorded.
Who it's for

Has this happened to you?
Real moments where control slips, and the product that keeps it.
When a developer leaves with a copy of your code
Developers keep copies of the code they work on. When they leave, the copy leaves too. With AI tools, it can become a competitor’s product in weeks.
Fixed with Source Protection
Sensitive government and defense code built by contractors
Defense and government systems are built by integrators, subcontractors and rotating staff. Each of them ends up holding a copy of code that should never leave the building.

When a data scientist leaves with your ML pipeline
Your model’s edge is in the code around it: how features are built, how it is trained, how results are adjusted. That code is plain Python, and it is easy to take.

After an incident, who actually held your code?
Something leaks, or a competitor ships something familiar. The first question is who had the code and when. Most companies cannot answer it.

Source Protection covers it.
Locked code, stand ins and approved changes
People build and move on. The code that matters stays locked, and every opening is on record.

Your algorithm is ten files. Everything else is plumbing.
Most of a repository is replaceable. A small part is not. Start by protecting the modules that carry the business logic.

When the acquirer wants to see the code
Technical due diligence means sharing source code with a company that may not buy you. Review need not leave an ordinary working copy behind.
