Evidence

Product judgement, backed by inspectable work.

Three forms of proof support it: production-scale product experience, owned systems built and tested directly, and a decision method you can inspect before you buy.

Career provenance, owned engineering and public method are shown separately.

Buyer diligence

What the evidence lets you conclude.

Each answers a different diligence question: has he operated at scale, does he still build, and can you inspect how the decisions are made?

How to read these classes

Production: Observed in a live production environment carrying real operational load.
Client-approved: A client relationship and scope the client has approved for public description — no outcome implied unless separately approved.
Pre-production: Hyperion-owned work running end to end but not yet carrying production load — not a customer deployment.
Controlled: Measured under conditions chosen by Hyperion — repeatable, but not a field result.
Simulated: Measured against a simulated environment or workload rather than physical hardware in the field.
Modelled: A calculated scenario from stated assumptions. Not a measurement, not an outcome and never a case study.
Public method: A publicly checkable artefact — preprint, open-source contribution or published method. A preprint is not peer-reviewed.
Career record: Work done by the founder at a former employer, before Hyperion. Those organisations are not Hyperion clients.

Named client mandate

A named client relationship with bounded scope — no outcome or endorsement implied.

Hyperion-owned reference implementations

Still builds systems directly: Auralink.

Pre-production
in-house AI ventures, including Auralink
Pre-production
32 conformance cases
ACS v0.1 coverage spans reference, safety and federated-operation scenarios. Auralink is Hyperion-owned pre-production internal R&D, not deployed in live infrastructure; a conformance suite is engineering evidence, not a certification.

Controlled

Research & experiments

arXiv preprint — a preprint, not a journal publication.

78% autonomous incident resolution in a controlled-environment evaluation reported in arXiv preprint 2603.08736.

Public method

External references

Third-party published analysis — cited, not a Hyperion measurement.

Every engagement is led directly by Mohammed Cherifi. Specialist partners may be introduced for clearly defined work when required and disclosed; Hyperion is not a staffing or engineering-delivery bench.

Selected engagement

One client, described exactly.

This describes the mandate and the role. It does not disclose information shared in confidence, claim a client outcome, or constitute a public case study.

How we describe our work

Every organisation named on this site falls into one of five classes. The class is stated wherever the name appears, so no reader has to infer the relationship.

Verified public client: A client relationship Hyperion may state publicly: the engagement is documented and the governing contract places no restriction on reference. Described as mandate and role — never as an outcome. Where a client has given written permission, the evidence register records it.
Verified confidential client: A real engagement that may not be named. Described only in the abstract, if at all.
Partner or subcontractor: Work delivered with or through another party. Never presented as a Hyperion client.
Prospect or lead: A conversation, proposal or target. Never presented as delivered work.
Founder career experience: Organisations Mohammed worked for as an employee. Not Hyperion clients, and labelled as career wherever their marks appear.

No client is named on this site unless the engagement is documented and the governing contract places no restriction on reference. Displaying an organisation's logo is treated as a separate question from naming it, and is not implied by any class above.
