Productisation of solutions on Smartsheet

I'm seeking to build a Finance Solution via an (OEM type deployment) ontop of Smartsheets, productising the Intellectual Property for a Finance application. As part of productising the solution, there are a number of items that I'm seeking answers for and hoping that others in the community may have already addressed some of these.

Locking down the solution

IP theft – how do we stop other vendors/implementers from inspecting and/or copying our solution? Can/should we lock down, hide/supress and/or encrypt application components?
Integrity – how do we best shield our end-users from the underlying application components configured on smartsheets so that they don’t inadvertently break the application?

Distribution, Support and Maintenance

Versioning – how do we version label our solutions and manage updates through a controlled configuration management/DevOps process?
Packaging/Deployment – how do best package and deploy our Smartsheet template solution?
Upgrades – how do we best deploy updates to existing templated application master data and calculations (eg, for bug fixes, regulatory (eg, tax laws) changes and functional updates)?

Thanks Bassam - I don't need help building the application at this stage. I need to understand what design patterns and/or options existing to solve the questions I have in my thread above. If you can provide your experience/guidance on these, then perhaps we could look at engaging your services. Thanks, Jim

Adding attachments to a generated document.
I’ve created an automation that generates a document and forwards it to the individual specified in a cell. The line item also has several additional attachments associated with it. Is there a way to include those attachments with the generated document?
How to copy row values and not formulas
I have an automation set up that copies a row to another sheet each day. The automation itself works correctly, but the problem is that it copies the formulas rather than the values, which causes the formulas to break and return errors. How can I configure it to copy only the values instead of the formulas?
