UPIF Launch Manual 🚀

You have the code. Now you need a business. Here is your Roadmap to Revenue.

Phase 1: Commercial Setup (Gumroad) 💰

1. Create Product: Go to Gumroad. Create a product named "UPIF Pro License".
   • Type: "Digital Product" or "Membership".
   • Price: $99/mo or $500/lifetime.
2. Get Keys:
   • Go to Settings > Advanced > Application.
   • Copy the Application ID and Application Secret.
   • Wait! Our code actually uses the Product Permalink or simple License Key verification endpoint.
3. Update Code:
   • Open upif/core/licensing.py.
   • Update PRODUCT_PERMALINK with your Gumroad product URL slug.
   • (Optional) If you want tighter security, implement verify_license using the official Gumroad Python client, but our current requests implementation is standard.

Phase 2: The AI Brain (The "Pro" Feature) 🧠

Your NeuralGuard needs a brain. You cannot ship an empty ONNX file.

1. Select a Model:
   • Recommended: microsoft/deberta-v3-small (Fast, good at intent) or ProtectAI/deberta-v3-base-prompt-injection (Specialized).
2. Convert to ONNX:

   pip install optimum[onnxruntime]
   optimum-cli export onnx --model ProtectAI/deberta-v3-base-prompt-injection upif/data/
   

   • Rename the model to guard_model.onnx.
3. Ship It:
   • Place guard_model.onnx inside upif/data/.
   • Ensure MANIFEST.in includes *.onnx.

Phase 3: Public Release (PyPI) 📦

Distribute the Open Core to the world.

1. Build:

   python dev_tools/build.py
   

   • This creates a .whl in dist/.
2. Test Upload (TestPyPI):

   pip install twine
   twine upload --repository testpypi dist/*
   

3. Go Live:

   twine upload dist/*
   

   • Your users can now pip install upif.

Phase 4: Marketing 📢

• Demo: Use the CLI in your sales videos.
  • upif scan "Ignore instructions" -> BLOCKED.
• Docs: Host the INTEGRATION_GUIDE.md on a nice secure documentation site (GitBook/Mintlify).

Good luck, CEO.
