Jet models of Event Horizon Telescope (EHT) data should also conform to theobserved jet profiles just downstream. This study evaluates conformance ofmodels of black hole jets to images of the innermost jet of M87. This is abasic test that should be passed before using them to perform a physicalinterpretation of EHT data. Recent 86 GHz Very Long Baseline Interferometryobservations of M87 have revealed the morphology and size of the jet near itssource ($<65$\,M, or 0.06 lt-yrs after correcting for line of sight to the jet,where $M$ is the black hole mass in geometrized units) for the first time.Current transverse resolution indicates that this region is dominated by fluxemanating from the edge of the jet. The observed inner jet profiles arecompared to all existing published synthetic radio images constructed from"state of the art" 3-D numerical simulations of the black hole accretion systemin M87. Despite efforts to produce the characteristic wide, edge dominated jet,these models are too narrow (by a factor of $\sim2$) in the region 0.06 - 0.32lt-yrs from the source, even though the jets (spine and/or sheath) in the imageplane might appear conformant farther downstream. Furthermore, the syntheticradio images are not edge dominated 0.06 - 0.32 lt-yrs from the source, butspine dominated. Analyses that implement these models as physical diagnosticsof EHT visibility amplitudes are therefore suspect. Thus, these inner jetcharacteristics are important considerations before applying simulations to theEHT data.
