MAP - it frames context, intended purpose and a system's: Which core function is this?
MAP is the NIST AI RMF function that establishes context and frames risks - intended purpose, categorization, and impacts - before deployment.
The question
A team using the NIST AI RMF needs the core function that establishes context and frames risks before deployment - covering intended purpose, categorization, and characterization of impacts on individuals and society. Which core function is this?

- GOVERN - it cultivates risk culture, policies and clear accountability lines.Plausible but wrong: GOVERN is the cross-cutting culture-and-policy function; it does not itself perform the pre-deployment context-framing described here.
- MEASURE - it applies TEVV methods and metrics to gauge trustworthiness.Plausible but wrong: MEASURE analyzes and tracks risks using test, evaluation, verification and validation methods, which comes after context has been framed.
- MAP - it frames context, intended purpose and a system's potential impacts. ✓Correct: MAP establishes context and frames risks, including intended purpose, categorization, and impact characterization ahead of deployment.
- MANAGE - it prioritizes and treats risks and plans for incident response.Plausible but wrong: MANAGE allocates resources to treat and monitor already-identified risks, not to establish the initial context.
The trap
Confusing MAP (framing context and impacts) with MEASURE (analyzing and quantifying those risks). How to remember it
MAP is the NIST AI RMF function that establishes context and frames risks - intended purpose, categorization, and impacts - before deployment.
