01 / The rule

What NIST AI RMF · MAP requires

Organizations adopting the AI RMF; MAP is done per AI system by the teams that design, develop, deploy or procure it.

  1. 01Document intended purposes, deployment settings, applicable laws and norms, mission goals and risk tolerances (MAP 1.1, 1.3, 1.5).
  2. 02Define the AI system's tasks and methods and document TEVV considerations, including data representativeness (MAP 2.1, 2.3).
  3. 03Document expected benefits, costs, targeted application scope and human oversight processes (MAP 3.1, 3.3, 3.5).
  4. 04Map technology and legal risks of all components, including third-party data, software and models (MAP 4.1, 4.2).
  5. 05Characterize likelihood and magnitude of impacts on individuals, groups, communities, organizations and society (MAP 5.1).

Optional evidence · where Planisphere fits

Keep a record anyone can check

When your team meets a duty, Planisphere can seal the event it reports as a receipt.

01 · Your teamRecord the event

A disclosure shown, a review signed, a model change approved: the event your system reports.

02 · PlanisphereSeal it

The event becomes a sealed receipt, dated and attributed to whoever is signed in.

03 · AnyoneCheck it

Paste the receipt into Verify. No account or key.

A record supports your compliance evidence process. It is not a legal finding or a certification. Systems that call Planisphere's gate API can also hold or refuse an action before it runs.
