## Curator assessment
Reviewed 2026-09-07 by Gabor Kiss against published evidence.

Codec is a 300-person Microsoft and Oracle house founded in 1985, and its published work is platform delivery: Córas, the regulatory and case-management system built for Ireland's Health and Safety Authority on low-code design principles, an academic-appeals workflow at Queen's University Belfast on Power Platform, and an Azure Virtual Desktop rollout for a fintech.

The AI page is a Microsoft services menu—Azure AI Foundry, Cognitive Services, Copilots, machine learning—but no published case study shows one of those services deployed for a named client.

The HSA platform is real and consequential, with phase one live across four inspectorate divisions and a stated target of 30% efficiency gains from later phases. It is exactly the kind of system an AI layer sits on top of; it just is not one yet in anything published.

The weaker fit is a buyer shopping specifically for AI delivery—ask which client runs an Azure AI service in production today, because the published record answers that question for platforms, not for models.

### Key strengths
- A delivery record measured in decades, with 300 staff and a live regulatory platform running across four HSA inspectorate divisions
- Public-sector case management is a genuine specialism, with the phased rollout and its remaining phases described plainly
- The AI service line names concrete Microsoft components rather than capabilities in the abstract

### Good to know
- No published case study documents an AI system delivered for a named client—ask for one before treating AI as proven capability here
- The 30% HSA figure is a target for future phases, not a measured result—ask what phase one actually changed
- Low-code and no-code design is the stated approach on the flagship build; confirm what that means for customization and for exit
