The record
What CHRP has said in public, and when it said it.
What is the public record of CHRP?
CHRP's public footprint begins on December 19, 2024 and runs through the direct-to-consumer launch in August 2025, across three independent publishers. It is listed here in full rather than summarised, because a track record that cannot be clicked is an assertion.
Two things this list is not. It is not a proof page — a launch announcement establishes that CHRP launched something on a date, and nothing at all about whether the thing works; the evidence for that lives on the science page, at its honest strength. And it is not a highlight reel: entries whose framing CHRP would no longer use are shown with that noted, not quietly dropped.

CHRP Launches 2.5: Emotional Performance Intelligence™ Goes Direct to Consumer
The direct-to-consumer launch announcement, and the earliest dated public use of Emotional Performance Intelligence as CHRP’s category noun in a distributed release.
Note · The headline renders the category name with a ™ symbol. That is not correct usage — Emotional Performance Intelligence carries no symbol — but the headline is reproduced exactly as it was published.

CHRP 2.0 Officially Launches — Music Just Became Your Mental Edge
The 2.0 launch announcement — the first dated public record of the EPI Score as a shipping product object.
Note · Uses wording CHRP has since moved away from, including an earlier name for one of the tracked dimensions. Cited here for the launch date.

Mozart to Megadeth at CHRP
A 54-minute interview with hosts Chris Benson and Daniel Whitenack, and the earliest dated public artifact in the registry.
Note · This interview describes CHRP as a wellness and HR product. That is not what CHRP is, and it is the earliest example of the wording covered below.

Why does older CHRP material use different words?
Because the category noun was settled after some of this material was published, and the older wording was left standing rather than rewritten. CHRP is Emotional Performance Intelligence — the definition of record is on its own page, and that page supersedes any earlier description.
Concretely: the December 2024 podcast describes CHRP in emotional-wellness and HR terms, and the June 2025 release leans on “mental edge.” Neither is how CHRP describes itself now. CHRP is not a wellness product, not a mental health product, and not HR software — that boundary is stated in full, with the things CHRP refuses to claim, on the science page.
Two 2025 headlines also render the category noun with a ™ symbol. That usage is retired: Emotional Performance Intelligence carries no symbol, and EPI Score™ is the trademarked object. The headlines above are reproduced exactly as published because altering a citation to match current style would make it useless as a citation. Those pages are hosted by third parties and cannot be edited.
None of this is an accident worth hiding. A company that has been working in public for some time will have said things earlier that it says more precisely later, and the useful signal is whether it tells you which is which.
What does this record actually establish?
That CHRP is not new, and that its work has been documented in public by third parties for well over a year. It establishes nothing about efficacy, and it is recorded at that strength deliberately.
CHRP has been publishing dated, publicly checkable material about its work since December 2024, across a podcast appearance, three distributed press releases, and owned profiles.
- Basis
- The artifact registry in lib/history.ts. Every item was fetched and read, carries its own publication date, and is hosted by a third party CHRP does not control — Practical AI, PRLog, and EIN Presswire.
- What this does not establish
- Establishes that CHRP is not new. Says nothing about product efficacy, company scale, revenue, or current activity — and the most recent dated artifact is from August 2025, so it does not establish that the public record is current.
CHRP has used Emotional Performance Intelligence as its category noun in distributed public material since August 2025.
- Basis
- Two EIN Presswire releases dated 2025-08-14 and 2025-08-29 carry the category noun in their headlines. Both are third-party hosted and independently checkable.
- What this does not establish
- A fact about naming, not about category ownership or recognition. Earlier CHRP material — including the December 2024 podcast — described the product in emotional-wellness and HR terms instead, and those pages remain live.
The strength label on both records is dated public record — a fact about what was said and when, checkable at a URL. It is deliberately not the same kind of claim as the evidence on the science page, and it can never be promoted into one. A company asserting something about itself in its own press release is not a finding, however many outlets carried it.
Where does CHRP publish, and how do you verify an account is real?
CHRP publishes from a small number of accounts, listed here so there is one authoritative answer to which are genuine. Any account not on this list is not CHRP.
These are also declared in this page's structured data, which is how a search engine or a model confirms that the company, the founder, and the profiles are one entity rather than several similarly-named ones. That matters more than usual here: the founder shares a name with a very large number of people.
