Cultural Alignment Filter (Interactive Self-Audit Tool)
How & When to Use: Run this five-question self-audit before any cultural activation—campaigns, partnerships or content launches—to ensure relevance, community involvement, integrity, power distribution, and mission alignment.
What it is: A quick checklist where you rate 1–5 on each principle (1 = Not at all, 5 = Perfectly). Total score (5–25) gives a snapshot of readiness.
- 25 = 🟢 Green: Go ahead
- 20–24 = 🟠 Amber: Consider an audit
- ≤19 = 🔴 Red: Book an expert review
Our approach draws on cultural studies, critical race theory, intersectional feminism & media theory—ensuring every activation earns trust & redistributes power.
