MAP actual use: Which NIST function should frame the next analysis?
MAP should frame analysis because the actual use, affected students, and impacts are not yet understood.
The question
A school district uses an attendance model to support administrators. Principals have begun using its scores to deny intervention services, although that use was not intended. The district lacks evidence about affected student groups and community impacts. Which NIST function should frame the next analysis?

- Measure aggregate accuracy only.Aggregate accuracy cannot establish the changed purpose, affected students, foreseeable misuse, or community impacts.
- MAP actual use, affected students, and potential impacts. ✓MAP establishes the system’s actual context, affected people, changed use, and potential impacts before selecting risk treatments.
- GOVERN by assigning a technical owner for the attendance model.Assigning an owner may support accountability, but it does not resolve the immediate evidence gap about use, affected groups, and impacts.
- MANAGE risk by accepting current practice and documenting residual risk before context is understood.MANAGE prioritizes and treats identified risks; accepting current practice before understanding affected students and impacts is premature.
The trap
Unexpected use combined with unknown affected groups or impacts points to MAP before selecting metrics or accepting risk. How to remember it
MAP should frame analysis because the actual use, affected students, and impacts are not yet understood.
