Appendix B: Templates and Tools

This appendix lists reusable templates for governing AI threats, to be copied into an organisation's repositories and kept under version control. Each appears in full in the chapter listed; the trope catalogue, evidence record and register schema are also in Appendix A. The templates of AI Governance, Appendix C, AI Platform and Security, Appendix B, and the defensive artefacts of AI Red Team are not repeated here.
