About this study catalogue
This reference uses DecA(I)de's bundled deca-pis.json and
decaidevocab.json study datasets. Counts are entries, not unique
indicators or terms; the same item can appear in multiple groups. Code punctuation
and display formatting are normalized.
Personal Financial Literacy uses benchmark-style codes such as 4-1a,
distinct from business performance-indicator codes such as BL:003.
The bundled files do not include an edition, source-document citation or licensing
record. We have not verified every entry against current official wording.
Consult DECA's competitive-event resources
and your advisor for the current requirements for your event.

Practise against these indicators, not just read them. DecA(I)de generates roleplays and practice exams scored using its study catalogue. AI feedback is for practice, not an official score. Free during early access; chapter and account approval may be required.
