+## Definition
+Cultural intelligence is the capability to design products, prompts, and workflows that work respectfully and effectively across cultures by accounting for language, naming, symbols, calendars, norms, and representation.

+## Key Aspects
+- Global-first assumptions instead of Western-only defaults
