Subject: [PATCH] release(v0.7.3): hand-maintained README-pypi.md for proper
PyPI rendering
MIME-Version: 1.0
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8
Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit
PyPI doesn't resolve relative image paths or cross-links against the
source repo, so https://pypi.org/project/aicertify/ has been silently
showing broken images (hero banner, diagram1, demo.gif) and broken
links into examples/ and docs/.
This release adds a hand-maintained README-pypi.md and points the
`readme` field in pyproject.toml at it. The new file is a slightly-
trimmed variant of README.md — same structure (banner → tagline →
badges → diagram → quick start → demo gif → minimal Python → why →
comparison table → OPA-users section → examples → see-the-output →
GitHub pointers → license) — but with every image and cross-link
rewritten to absolute `https://raw.githubusercontent.com/...` or
`https://github.com/...` URLs.
Trimmed sections vs the GitHub README: the language switcher (PyPI
audience is en-only), the verbose How-It-Works/architecture diagram
walkthrough (replaced with a single-paragraph OPA-users section),
the long Regulatory Coverage list (replaced with the comparison
table + a link to the full list), the CLI flag reference table (full
help is one `aicertify --help` away), Status / Who-should-contribute
(less PyPI-relevant). All trimmed content lives one click away on
GitHub via the explicit "More on GitHub" pointer near the end.
Verified locally with `readme_renderer[md]` (the actual library PyPI
uses) — all image URLs resolve to https://raw.githubusercontent.com,
all hrefs resolve to https://github.com or other absolute targets.
The GitHub README.md is unchanged. Maintenance pattern: when updating
Quick Start, the comparison table, or the examples list in README.md,
update README-pypi.md in lockstep. CHANGELOG drift is the only thing
to watch for.
No code changes in this release.

+- **PyPI README rendering.** The PyPI project page previously showed broken images and broken `docs/` / `examples/` cross-links because PyPI doesn't resolve relative paths against the source repo. `pyproject.toml`'s `readme` field now points at a new **`README-pypi.md`** — a hand-maintained, slightly-trimmed variant of `README.md` with every image and cross-link rewritten to absolute `https://raw.githubusercontent.com/...` or `https://github.com/...` URLs. The hero banner, diagram1, `docs/demo.gif`, and every cross-link now render correctly on . The GitHub `README.md` is unchanged — keep both files in sync when updating Quick Start, comparison table, or examples list.

+ Audit your AI against the EU AI Act, NIST AI RMF, and 13 more frameworks — one contract, one command, one report.
+
+
+
+
+
+
+
+
+
+
+
+
+
+
+
+
+
+
+
+
+
+> 📦 **Full documentation, examples, contributing guide, translations (zh-CN / ja-JP / ko-KR / hi-IN), and 94 Rego policies** live in the [GitHub repository](https://github.com/Principled-Evolution/aicertify).
+
+Regulators are moving faster than your governance docs. The EU AI Act is in force. NIST AI RMF is the de-facto US standard. India, Brazil, and Singapore are next. `AICertify` lets you encode those obligations as executable [Open Policy Agent](https://www.openpolicyagent.org/) policies, run them against captured AI interactions, and produce audit-ready reports in PDF, Markdown, JSON, or HTML.
+
+It's the missing link between *"we have a responsible-AI policy"* and *"we can prove it."*
+
+**Use it when you need to:**
+
+- turn AI governance policies into executable checks
+- produce audit-ready compliance evidence on every release
+- evaluate AI interactions against named regulatory frameworks (EU AI Act, NIST AI RMF, FERPA, fair-lending, FAA/EASA aviation, …)
+- generate Markdown, JSON, HTML, or PDF reports your auditor can read
+- integrate AI compliance checks into CI/CD
+
+AICertify is part of the [Open Policy Agent ecosystem](https://www.openpolicyagent.org/ecosystem/entry/principled-evolution) — built on the same policy engine that powers Kubernetes admission, microservice authorisation, and infrastructure governance at scale.
+
+> ⭐ **If AICertify helps you, please star the [repo](https://github.com/Principled-Evolution/aicertify).** It helps AI governance and policy-as-code practitioners discover the project.
+
+---
+
+## Quick Start
+
+```bash
+# 1. Install AICertify (~3–5 min on first install; pulls langchain + transformers)
+pip install aicertify
+
+# 2. Install the OPA binary, one-time (~80 MB)
+curl -L https://openpolicyagent.org/downloads/latest/opa_linux_amd64 -o /usr/local/bin/opa && sudo chmod +x /usr/local/bin/opa
+
+# 3. Run the bundled demo — no contract file, no API keys, ~10 seconds
+aicertify demo
+```
+
+`aicertify demo` loads a bundled sample contract, evaluates it against the EU AI Act policy set via OPA, and writes `aicertify_demo_report.md` to the current directory. Open the report — that's what your audit deliverable looks like.
+
+
+
+
+
+For richer evaluations (LangFair fairness metrics, DeepEval content-safety scoring, PDF reports), see [`examples/quickstart.py`](https://github.com/Principled-Evolution/aicertify/blob/main/examples/quickstart.py) and the [forkable example bots](https://github.com/Principled-Evolution/aicertify/tree/main/examples) — each ships an `input_contract.json`, a `policy_config.yaml`, and a `run.py`.
+
+### Minimal Python usage
+
+```python
+from aicertify import regulations, application
+
+# 1. Pick the regulations you want to certify against
+regs = regulations.create("my_regulations")
+regs.add("eu_ai_act")
+
+# 2. Wrap your AI app
+app = application.create(
+ name="customer-support-bot",
+ model_name="gpt-4o",
+ model_version="2024-08-06",
+)
+
+# 3. Feed it real interactions
+app.add_interaction(
+ input_text="I want a refund for my order",
+ output_text="I can help with that. Could you share your order number?",
+)
+
+# 4. Evaluate and get reports back
+await app.evaluate(regulations=regs, report_format="pdf", output_dir="reports")
+```
+
+That's the whole loop. **Contract → interactions → evaluate → report.**
+
+---
+
+## Why AICertify?
+
+Most AI governance programs live in PDFs, spreadsheets, and policy documents. They describe what *should* happen but do not prove what *did*.
+
+AICertify turns governance rules into executable policy checks.
+
+Instead of saying:
+
+> "Our chatbot follows our responsible AI policy."
+
+You can produce:
+
+> "Here is the captured interaction, the policy version, the OPA evaluation result, and the generated audit report."
+
+AICertify is for AI teams, governance teams, auditors, and platform engineers who need AI compliance evidence that can be **read, run, reviewed, and repeated**.
+
+See the full positioning in [docs/why-aicertify.md on GitHub](https://github.com/Principled-Evolution/aicertify/blob/main/docs/why-aicertify.md).
+
+---
+
+## Compared with alternatives
+
+Most AI-governance tooling is either:
+
+- **A vendor SaaS** that locks your audit trail behind a login (Credo AI, Holistic AI), or
+- **A research toolkit** focused on a single dimension — fairness metrics (Fairlearn, AI Fairness 360) or explainability (Microsoft RAI Toolbox).
+
+Neither produces the document a regulator actually asks for: *evidence that you tested this AI system against a named regulation, with reproducible policies and a dated report.*
+
+| | AICertify | Fairlearn / AIF360 | MS RAI Toolbox | Credo AI |
+|---|---|---|---|---|
+| Open source | ✅ Apache 2.0 | ✅ MIT | ✅ MIT | ❌ Closed |
+| On-prem / air-gapped | ✅ | ✅ | ✅ | ❌ |
+| Named regulatory frameworks | **EU AI Act, NIST RMF, Brazil AI Bill, India DPDP, +11 more** | ❌ (fairness only) | ❌ (toolkit) | ✅ |
+| Policy-as-code (auditable, diff-able) | ✅ OPA / Rego | ❌ | ❌ | ❌ |
+| Industry verticals out of the box | Aviation, Banking, Healthcare, Automotive, Education | ❌ | ❌ | Partial |
+| Generates audit-ready reports | ✅ PDF / MD / JSON / HTML | ❌ | Partial | ✅ |
+| Custom policies | ✅ Drop a `.rego` file | ❌ | N/A | ✅ (paid) |
+
+---
+
+## For OPA / Rego users
+
+If you already use OPA, AICertify gives you the **AI-application context layer** OPA was missing. You bring your AI app; AICertify captures the interactions, feeds them through the OPA engine against AI-specific Rego policies sourced from [gopal](https://github.com/Principled-Evolution/gopal), and emits audit-ready evidence.
+
+The whole stack is policy-as-code — same workflow you already use for Kubernetes admission, microservice authorisation, and infrastructure governance.
+
+---
+
+## Forkable examples
+
+Copy any of these and substitute your own contract:
+
+- **[customer-support-bot](https://github.com/Principled-Evolution/aicertify/tree/main/examples/customer-support-bot)** — limited-risk EU AI Act + global cross-cutting policies
+- **[healthcare-triage-bot](https://github.com/Principled-Evolution/aicertify/tree/main/examples/healthcare-triage-bot)** — EU AI Act high-risk Annex III(5)(a) + gopal healthcare patient-safety policies
+- **[hiring-screening-bot](https://github.com/Principled-Evolution/aicertify/tree/main/examples/hiring-screening-bot)** — EU AI Act high-risk Annex III(4) + fair-lending proxy + FRIA metadata pattern
+
+Each example ships an `input_contract.json`, `policy_config.yaml`, `sample_interactions.json`, an `expected_report.md`, and a `run.py` you can execute directly.
+
+---
+
+## See the output
+
+You don't have to install anything to see what AICertify produces. A sample pre-generated PDF is in the repo:
+
+- **[demo-report-eu-ai-act.pdf](https://github.com/Principled-Evolution/aicertify/blob/main/docs/demo-report-eu-ai-act.pdf)** — a customer-support agent evaluated against the EU AI Act
+- **[examples/outputs/](https://github.com/Principled-Evolution/aicertify/tree/main/examples/outputs)** — canonical full outputs for EU AI Act, loan evaluation, and medical diagnosis
