Experimentally the existence of a light 125 GeV Higgs boson is well\nestablished but so far no other heavier resonances have been observed. Viable\nmodels to describe the Higgs boson as composite particle require hence to\nexhibit a large separation of scales. This occurs naturally in systems located\nnear a conformal fixed point irrespective whether the system lies outside or\ninside the conformal window. We demonstrate the latter case by investigating a\nmass-split model with four light and six heavy flavors. By construction\nmass-split models exhibit a large separation of scales and feature in addition\na highly constrained hadron spectrum. We present results based on the low-lying\nconnected meson spectrum. Although the light sector is chirally broken, we show\nthat it exhibits hyperscaling which is typical for conformal systems.\n
