Why this is canonical

EDI underpins a vast share of global B2B trade yet is notorious for brittleness, high maintenance, and exception-handling overhead. Positioning AI as the operating system for EDI — rather than just a wrapper — names the architectural ambition of the builders most likely to modernize this infrastructure. .ai places this at the agentic-era primary address.

Where it fits

A few directions this coordinate opens —
