A competency framework across 4 content areas (Money & Transactions, Planning, Risk & Reward, Financial Landscape) that provides behavioral benchmarks for L1-L4 checklist items.
Learning outcomes across L1 (central bank roles and tools) β L2 (exchange rates, capital flows, business cycles) β L3 (macro strategies, portfolio) provide concrete behavioral and numerical evidence for L3-L5 checklist items.
Three conditions for sound money (Singleness, Elasticity, Integrity), the Unified Ledger concept, and the CBDC vision serve as the basis for L6-L7 paradigm-level content.
