I agree. I think that you should calculate the price that cost 1 point of R&d for a product, and add AT LEAST 40% value for "overheads" and perhaps at least 40% to 100% price of "confidentiality". That's how it would work IRL. And I think that it would be more than the price today.
And I think that some R&D should not have a price. The AI should be able to say "No, it's a major technology for us, we won't buy it". And in the opposite way, we should be able to reply to a AI player "no it's a major technology for us" and that, after he won't ask it again.
