How the first alert is built
To check this alert, SuperGrok Heavy 4.5 (an AI) read it in full 25 separate times, independently. Each read decided whether the message answers each of the six questions and gave a short reason. A final reviewer then weighed all 25 and wrote the plain-English verdict you see when you open a row. The score (for example 22/25) is how many reads agreed; the 25 individual reads are tucked underneath if you want to check them.

Sourcepresent25/25
Final assessment
25 of 25 passes marked Source present. The message names the Azusa Police Department as the agency searching for the suspect.
Who is sending the alert and who is responding. People act faster on a message from a clearly identifiable, credible sender, such as a named department, the police, or a branded alert system, than on an anonymous notice. A branded signature counts.

Hazardpresent25/25
Final assessment

Locationpresent25/25
Final assessment
25 of 25 passes marked Location present. It says the suspect is on Campus, which states the place.
Where the threat is. Saying whether danger is in a specific building, a part of campus, or area-wide lets people judge their own proximity and choose a safe direction. Without a where, a warning is hard to act on precisely.

25 of 25 passes marked Guidance present. It requests that the campus go on lockdown, a protective instruction to recipients.

Impactabsent0/25
Final assessment
25 of 25 passes marked Impact absent. It names the armed robbery but does not state any harm, danger, or severity.
What the hazard could do to the people in its path. Beyond naming the threat, a complete warning conveys its potential consequences or severity, such as that a tornado can level buildings or that a leak could be explosive, so recipients grasp how much danger they are in. Research on warning message content finds that a concrete impact statement helps people personalize their risk and act sooner.
