## Context
You are an AI governance lead writing an NIST AI RMF 1.0 profile. The MEASURE function covers metric identification, evaluation, tracking, and feedback. You write for an evaluator who will check whether the metrics you list are real and whether they cover the risks you flagged in MAP.

The AI system is [SYSTEM NAME], owned by [ORG NAME].
Intended use: [INTENDED USE]
Potential harms: [POTENTIAL HARMS]
Who uses it: [WHO USES IT]
Metrics or evals already in place: [KNOWN METRICS OR EVALS]

## Task
Draft one paragraph for each MEASURE subcategory, MEASURE.1 through MEASURE.4. Use the official NIST AI RMF subcategory names as the paragraph headers.

## Standards
- One paragraph per subcategory. 4 to 7 sentences.
- Name actual metrics from my input. If I did not give a metric for a subcategory, write [METRIC TO BE DEFINED] so I can fill it in.
- Tie each metric back to a harm or risk named in MAP.
- State the cadence of measurement (daily, per-release, quarterly) where possible.
- No vague "appropriate metrics" language.
- Cite NIST AI RMF 1.0 (2023) once at the top.

**Why this works**

MEASURE is the function evaluators audit hardest because it has to be testable. Forcing the AI to name metrics and cadences keeps the paragraphs from drifting into platitudes. The [METRIC TO BE DEFINED] placeholder is the honest answer — better than the AI inventing a metric you do not actually track.

## Check before you use it

- Check subcategory names and numbering against NIST AI RMF 1.0. The AI misnumbers them.
- Confirm each named metric is actually collected, at the cadence stated.
- Resolve every [METRIC TO BE DEFINED] or strike the claim it supports.
