NIST TEVV-Athlon Framework for Evaluating AI Systems
Below are its 10 steps in the framework's own order, and under each one the laws we track that bear on it. Each mapping is our reading that a law bears on a step, never a finding that running the step meets the law.
Draft National Institute of Standards and Technology released this edition as a draft, and the final edition may differ. We check its page every week, and a new edition is read against the law again. Every draft we track

Of these laws, 52 are in force, 30 not yet in force, and 6 proposed and not law.
5 of the 6 steps under General Guidance for a TEVV-Athlon have no law we track under them.

Read through the kinds of duty each AI, scraping and news aggregation law we track carries, counting a kind of duty only where the law's own requirement lines, as read against the NIST AI Risk Management Framework, bear it out.
The TEVV-Athlon Framework
3 of 4 steps with lawThe TEVV-Athlon Framework is a structured approach to developing assessments of AI systems. The framework can help organizations assess system attributes, trustworthiness characteristics, and operational goals relevant to their needs.
| Step | What it says | Laws, by state | Laws | Jurisdictions | Not yet in force | Proposed |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 2.1 | Articulate & Organize no law we track | no law we track | ||||
| 2.2 | Define & Construct 3 laws, 1 not yet in force | 3 | 2 | 1 | 0 | |
| 2.3 | Apply & Measure 78 laws, 27 not yet in force, 1 proposed | 78 | 37 | 27 | 1 | |

General Guidance for a TEVV-Athlon
1 of 6 steps with lawThis section provides an overview of general techniques and practices that may support a TEVV-Athlon across different systems, applications, and stages of the AI lifecycle.

|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 4.1 | Gathering Appropriate Expertise no law we track | no law we track | ||||
| 4.2 | Checking Basic TEVV-Athlon Requirements, Resources, and Materials no law we track | no law we track | ||||
| 4.3 | Composing a TEVV Toolbox 79 laws, 28 not yet in force, 1 proposed | 79 | 37 | 28 | 1 | |
