Why this is canonical
EDI is the long-standing backbone of inter-company transactions — purchase orders, invoices, shipping notices moving as structured documents between partners. 'EDI substrate' names the ground-truth data layer beneath that exchange, the place where trading-partner reality becomes machine-consistent. The substrate suffix places it at the foundation; .com is the category default a durable layer is expected to hold.
