+# SalesPath: Mastering Long-Horizon Sales via RL
 
-A [OpenEnv](https://github.com/openenv)-compatible Reinforcement Learning gym environment for training sales agents via LLM fine-tuning.
+**Submission for Scale AI Bonus Prize (Long-Horizon Planning)**  
+**Project Site:** [Hugging Face Space](https://huggingface.co/spaces/Imsachin010/salespath-env)  
+**Deep-Dive Blog:** [blog.md](blog.md)  
+**Trained Model:** [Qwen 2.5 0.5B Sales Expert](https://huggingface.co/Imsachin010/salespath-qwen25-0.5b)
 
-## API Endpoints
+---
 
-| Method | Endpoint | Description |
-|--------|----------|-------------|
-| `POST` | `/reset` | Reset the environment, returns initial observation |
-| `POST` | `/step` | Take an action, returns next observation + reward |
-| `GET`  | `/health` | Health check |
+## 💡 Motivation: The "Long-Horizon" Challenge
 
-## Quick Start
+Most LLM agent benchmarks reward single-turn "correct" answers. Real-world business tasks — like closing a B2B sales deal — are fundamentally different. They require **sequential decision-making** over 20+ turns where every action constrains the future.
 
-### Reset
-```bash
-curl -X POST https://imsachin010-salespath-env.hf.space/reset \
-  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
-  -d '{"difficulty": 1}'
-```
+We built **SalesPath** to solve this. It's a reinforcement learning environment that forces an agent to learn a strict sales workflow and 9 complex business rules through **GRPO (Group Relative Policy Optimization)**. 
+
+If the agent negotiates before qualifying, it's penalized. If it repeats itself, it loses. To win, it must navigate the entire path from `PROSPECT` to `CLOSE`.
+
+---
+
+## 🛠️ How it Works: The Environment
+
+SalesPath is an [OpenEnv](https://github.com/openenv)-compatible gym environment.
+
+### 1. The Sales Workflow
+Agents must progress through a logical sequence:
+`PROSPECT` → `QUALIFY` → `PRESENT` → `HANDLE_OBJECTION` → `OFFER_DEMO` → `NEGOTIATE` → `CLOSE`
+
+### 2. Strict Business Rules
+The environment enforces 9 rules at every turn (e.g., *R03: Budget must be known before NEGOTIATE*). Three violations end the episode with a heavy penalty.
+
+### 3. Dense Reward Signal
+We use 5 reward components to provide meaningful gradients at every step:
+- **Outcome (40%)**: Did the deal close?
+- **Compliance (30%)**: Rule adherence.
+- **Ordering (15%)**: Workflow sequence.
+- **Efficiency (10%)**: Turn count.
+- **Format (5%)**: Structural correctness (`ACTION:/CONTENT:`).
+
+---
 
-### Step
+## 📈 Results: 0.5B Validation (Proof of Concept)
+
+We successfully trained **Qwen 2.5 0.5B Instruct** to prove that the GRPO pipeline can bake complex logic into even the smallest models.
+
+| Metric | Before Training | After Training |
+|--------|----------------|----------------|
+| `mean_reward` | `-0.14` | **`0.23`** |
+| `violations / episode` | `2.8` | **`0.4`** |
+| `close_success_rate` | `5%` | **`35%`** |
+| `ordering_rate` | `0.12` | **`0.88`** |
+
+**Finding:** The 0.5B model learned the strict format within **5 steps** and mastered the basic workflow ordering within **100 steps**, proving the reward function is perfectly tuned for scaling to 7B+ models.

+
+## 🚀 Unified Architecture
+
+Our Hugging Face Space is a unified submission:
+1. **Inference/Env Server:** Acts as the OpenEnv API.
+2. **On-Demand Training:** Can trigger a 7B GRPO scale-up via the `/train` endpoint.
+
+### Interaction Example
 ```bash
+# Reset for a new deal
+curl -X POST https://imsachin010-salespath-env.hf.space/reset -d '{"difficulty": 1}'
+
+# Take a sales action
 curl -X POST https://imsachin010-salespath-env.hf.space/step \
-  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
-  -d '{"action": {"action_type": "PROSPECT", "content": "Hello, tell me about your workflow challenges."}}'
+  -d '{"action": {"action_type": "PROSPECT", "content": "Hello! I see you are scaling your team..."}}'
 ```
 
-## Action Types
-
-- `PROSPECT` — Initial outreach and discovery
-- `QUALIFY` — Qualify the lead
-- `PRESENT` — Deliver the sales pitch
-- `HANDLE_OBJECTION` — Handle prospect objections
-- `OFFER_DEMO` — Offer product demonstration
-- `NEGOTIATE` — Discuss pricing and terms
-- `FOLLOW_UP` — Follow-up message
-- `DISQUALIFY` — Exit if prospect is not a fit
-- `CLOSE` — Attempt to close the deal
