Kindly explain with a critical report; What is the blockchain innovation about (in place or proposed) in this industry? (What is blockchain supposed to do/solve?)

What are the characteristics of the blockchain in this specific application? (Public/private blockchain? etc.)

What are the advantages and disadvantages of blockchain application in this area?

Is blockchain the right technology? Or maybe other technologies do better job in solving the problem? Or maybe we need them all - a solution at the intersection of blockchain and AI, Big Data, smart contracts, etc.? If you are arguing for yes, why other technologies are not solving the problem. If you are arguing for no, what other technologies are better to do the job, and why?
