# How Virgin Atlantic ships faster with Codex

# Claim

How Virgin Atlantic used Codex to ship its revamped mobile app on a fixed holiday travel deadline, reaching near-total unit test coverage and zero P1 defects.

# Relevance

Appendix III, section two: vendor threshold and platform capability evidence

# Oracle Verdict

This is a lower-to-mid strength vendor signal for the capability register. It does not prove displacement on its own, but it records another platform step that can later show up as workflow automation, procurement change, or organisational dependency.
