Extract¶

NIST identifies overreliance as a risk but provides guidance, not binding requirements

Relevance to Hypotheses¶

Hypothesis	Relationship	Strength
H1	Contradicts	Requirements exist but are indirect/general, not direct anti-sycophancy provisions
H2	Contradicts	Requirements addressing the phenomenon do exist
H3	Supports	Requirements are general governance/trustworthiness rather than specific behavioral constraints

Context¶

Part of the pattern identified across Q002: regulated industries address AI behavioral risks through general governance frameworks rather than specific system-behavior requirements.
