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.
