Specifies the records an AI model, statistical model or agent must carry before its outputs enter risk products: model cards, dataset sheets, evaluation records with test-set provenance, agent mandates and aiUse flags, crosswalked to the NIST AI RMF, the EU AI Act and named management-system standards. Every artifact of the area carries a UNI (Unique Nexus Identifier), which identifies and never certifies.
Context entry PROPOSED for the Nexus Standards registry.

Jurisdictions No jurisdiction note is recorded for this area yet; jurisdiction narrows what applies and never implies that a Nexus profile satisfies a law.
The Nexus Standards the area context entry lists; the registry row lists NS-12, NS-10, NS-11. Every one is proposed or specified; none is adopted by an authority.

Test suites, conformance statements and attestations per standard; no attestation is recorded yet, and none would certify.
Today · a draft in your browserMix standards and clauses into a profile draft with citations; YAML or JSON; nothing is submitted.
Pending admissionVersion and feed state per standard; every row reads source feed pending admission until a register row admits a feed.
A console computes from the registry and shows its reasons; it never decides, approves or certifies.
Relations are register entries (NS-14), never conformance or equivalence statements; hover or focus a relation for its meaning. Names of standards bodies and their standards belong to their stewards and are used only to identify the documents; no text of an external standard is reproduced here.
Each coupling names the mechanism that links this area to another; select a card on the canvas to trace it. Mechanisms are stated in the context bank (PROPOSED).
Fig.RUNNING marks the area you are reading; DONE an area in the same subsite, QUEUED an area elsewhere and GATE a subsite reached. Tags give reading order only, never a status. Design, not a record.
Sources the area reads or proposes. Delivery follows GRIx first; a source is shown live only after an owner decision admits it for public pages.
No legal register row admits any of these sources for live display on public pages yet, so nothing is read from them here. A register row that exists records the source for the governed GRIx path; admission for public pages is a separate owner decision.

Indicator names and codes as their stewards publish them; values appear only from a governed GRIx source, never typed into a page.
Closed or paywalled standards appear by name and link only; any compatibility profile of one is built on simulated data and kept on protected pages until an institutional arrangement with the issuing body is recorded. Nexus Standards is not affiliated with, endorsed by or certified by any standards body named here.
Records for models, evaluations and agents used in risk products.
No working group is chartered yet; a community may charter this one under NS-13 through a docket.
GCRI Canada uses a model's outputs as evidence only with a model card, an evaluation record on a cited test set and a stated domain of validity.
GRF recognition of an AI-enabled programme rests on recorded oversight points and incident handling, not on model capability claims.
GRA treats undocumented model drift or out-of-domain use as model risk to be disclosed, never as an accepted input.
Each institution decides under its own rules what it reads as evidence; no pathway is an approval, a readiness statement or investment advice.
Hazards and threats 0
No hazard or threat is listed for this area; it reads the hazards of the areas it couples with.
Sectors 0
No sector is listed for this area; it serves every sector through the areas it couples with.
This area has a row in registry/subsites.yaml (status planned), so it carries five depth pages and the register crosswalk of its domains.
The rules of each listed standard, read through the specification reader.
Depth · CrosswalkEvery register entry in the area's domains, by relation, with the crosswalk graph.
Depth · Records and schemasScope, record, schema explorer and how a UNI resolves.
Depth · ConformanceClauses, evidence and attestations; no step is a certification.
Depth · ReadinessThe area beside the three pathways, as a matrix.
3 Nexus Standards · 2 domains · 24 external standards · 12 issuing bodies · 1 consumers. Relations are register entries (adopt, profile, crosswalk, cite), never compliance claims; names belong to their stewards.
Crosswalk graph42 nodes and 56 links from registry/external-standards.yaml, registry/subsites.yaml and registry/consumers.yaml. Relations (adopt, profile, crosswalk, cite) are register entries, never compliance claims.
The registry holds no geography for the area itself: areas are not places. The one geography it implies is where the bodies that issue the area's external standards sit.

From the ecosystem coverage register: what the GCRI Canada, The Global Risks Forum (GRF) and The Global Risks Alliance (GRA) sites publish on this area, as claimed there and not evaluated here.
Peer-reviewed sources and published statistics on the publishers' own domains, as the context entry cites them.
Plain links to the faculty pages of Risk Academy; no course, credential, recognition or endorsement is implied.
Risk Academy disciplines that teach AI, models and agents, with their courses; the GCRI Canada, The Global Risks Forum (GRF) and The Global Risks Alliance (GRA) subsites that carry those disciplines; and the Nexus Foundry systems the standards name. Mappings are proposed for review (Risk Academy standards map, 2026-10-17); a link says a page on the same subject exists, never an endorsement or a conformance statement; framework names in course titles are named and linked, never reproduced.
