Use Cases

  • Dictionary lookup and field explanation

  • Segment vendor population for policy or market-share analysis
  • Compare award patterns between nonprofit and for-profit organizations

Common Mistakes

  • Assuming null or blank means false instead of missing or unreported
  • Using the field without checking whether the extract stores boolean values as numeric codes or text
