Module 4 Assessment

10 questions. Pass mark 80 percent (configurable). Unlimited retakes. Your best score is kept on this device.

1. 1. What does a data carrier actually deliver when it is scanned?

   The full passport record, ready to display.An identifier, which is then resolved to find the record.A list of which audiences may view the product.A cached snapshot of the last published version.
2. 2. A scan shows a page with a battery capacity that was corrected upstream weeks ago but never appears. The carrier reads correctly and routes to the right service. Where does the fault most likely sit?

   The carrier itself, which should be reprinted.The identifier, which may have been assigned twice.Data validation and publication, upstream of the carrier and resolver, which are both working correctly.The customer device used to perform the scan.
3. 3. Because resolution is a configurable lookup rather than something printed on the product, a passport can be corrected or relocated without reprinting carriers already in the field.

   True: the resolver sits between the fixed identifier and the changeable destination.False: any change to the destination requires reissuing the carrier.
4. 4. What is the job of a product identifier, as distinct from a resolver?

   To point at one product, consistently, for more than one party, over time.To decide which audience receives which subset of a passport.To route a scan request to the correct service.To host the structured content of the passport record.
5. 5. A brand switches passport platform vendor and finds every identifier has to be reissued and every carrier reprinted. What does this reveal?

   The new vendor uses an incompatible carrier symbology.The identifier was bound to the old resolver instead of being kept portable and independent.The identifiers were never unique in the first place.The migration should have happened at the point of sale rather than mid-life.
6. 6. An identifier that is unique and stable but has no working resolver behind it already delivers most of a passport’s value.

   True: identity is the hard part, and resolution is a formality once identity is settled.False: an identifier without a resolver is inert, and the two only produce value together.
7. 7. How does a passport’s obligation differ from a traditional, document based compliance obligation?

   A passport requires more signatures at the point of sale.A passport must stay reachable and accurate for a defined period after the sale, not just be correct when issued.A passport removes the need for any conformity documentation.A passport applies only to products sold directly to consumers.
8. 8. A manufacturer discontinues a product and retires the website that hosted its passport pages, on which reachability depended. What has happened?

   Nothing of concern, since discontinued products carry no further obligation.The passport’s reachability has been retired along with the website, because publication was never designed to outlast the hosting platform.The obligation transfers automatically to whichever retailer sold the last unit.The identifier is automatically deactivated once the product is discontinued.
9. 9. An audit finds an overstated figure in a passport that a regulator has already read. Which response preserves trust in the record?

   Overwrite the figure quietly, since the corrected value is what matters going forward.Publish a new dated version with the corrected figure, leaving the original retrievable and marked as superseded.Leave the figure as published, since correcting it would draw attention to the error.Delete the record and issue a new identifier for the product.
10. 10. Immutability means a passport can never be updated once it is published, which would rule out logging a repair against the record.

    True: an immutable record cannot absorb new events.False: new information is added as new, dated entries, and existing published statements are superseded rather than rewritten.
