This MAP Function Procedural Manual and Implementation Guide is the implementation companion to Chapter 2 – MAP Function in the AI Risk Management Framework 2026. It operationalizes all MAP 1 through MAP 5 subcategories, including AI type classification, Agent Profile Card–based agentic profiling, impact and harm identification, risk identification, and formal impact assessment. Where the AI RMF 2026 provides conceptual, cross-framework, and regulatory mapping, this manual provides the step-by-step procedures, RACI assignments, templates, and success metrics that must be followed for organizational implementation. Any future changes to the AI RMF 2026 MAP chapter SHALL be reflected in this manual through versioned updates to preserve 1:1 alignment.
