Each entry names a source, what it supports, what was checked, and the limits. Practice cases use their own made-up sources. The real-source examples keep their evidence next to each claim.
A source check describes one point in time. Check official submission pages and document versions again before publishing or sending anything to NIST. A web-page update does not always change the linked PDF.
NIST accepts descriptions of public resources for Playbook review. It welcomes free resources from for-profit publishers. Being named does not mean NIST endorses a resource.

This page still has old schedule text. Use the Playbook overview for update timing. No acceptance or response time is promised.

Opened official PDF; checked all ten candidate identifiers and PDF/printed-page locators in extracted text; corroborated version on the NIST framework overview.
Check status
source content checked
Scope limit
Checking the source does not prove toolkit coverage, use by an organization, or compliance. The PDF screenshot tool returned text placeholders, so no visual source-PDF review is claimed.
Opened official PDF; checked all eight candidate action identifiers and PDF/printed-page locators in extracted text; checked linked publication metadata.
Check status
source content checked
Scope limit
A small publishing tool does not put the whole profile into practice. Editable history is not tamper-proof. Worksheet tests are not tests of AI-system instructions.

Check status
source content checked
Scope limit
This source check was made before owner approval. A link to the license deed alone grants no rights. The owner later approved CC BY 4.0 and MIT on October 7, 2026; those toolkit licenses remain active. Read the operative notices for their scope.
