User Testimonials
	Higson	OptaPlanner
Likelihood to Recommend	Decerto Hyperon is less appropriate in smaller projects that do not contain a lot of business logic. However, if there are a lot of business rules to manage, many things that might be frequently changed, then Hyperon is a good tool to address it.
