# Assessment 10 #### What is the PRIMARY limitation of EDI that blockchain addresses? * [ ] EDI is too slow for modern supply chains * [ ] EDI requires expensive hardware small suppliers can't afford * [x] EDI handles document exchange but doesn't provide tamper-proof verification of truth * [ ] EDI doesn't support international character sets **Notes to Learners** EDI solved workflow automation brilliantly—it's fast and efficient at document transmission. The limitation is that EDI transmits whatever data systems tell it to transmit but can't verify truth or prevent manipulation. Each company maintains their own database, and when records conflict, EDI provides no mechanism to determine which version is correct. Blockchain adds the missing piece: immutable records all parties can trust. This is why successful implementations enhance EDI with blockchain rather than replacing it. --- # Agent Instructions: Querying This Documentation If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.
