Timely warning for breaking and entering into a student room in Champlin Hall

To check this alert, Claude Opus 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.

  Final assessment

  Present, 25 of 25: the notice names its issuer, "The Brown University Department of Public Safety and Emergency Management", and abbreviates it as DPSEM in the incident text.

  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.

  Final assessment

  Present, 25 of 25: the hazard is stated plainly as "a breaking and entering into a student's residence room" in which an unidentified individual "removed cash from a purse".

  What the threat actually is. A complete warning names the specific danger, such as a shooter, a fire, a tornado, or a gas leak, rather than a vague emergency, because people decide what to do based on what they are facing.

• Locationpresent25/25

  Final assessment

  Present, 25 of 25: the room is placed "within Champlin Hall", a named Brown residence, which the reads treated as sufficient despite no street address being given.

  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.

  Final assessment

  Present, 25 of 25: the Safety Tips bullets tell readers to lock their doors, secure valuables, avoid tailgating, and "Do not prop doors".

  The protective action to take. A clear, specific instruction, such as shelter in place, evacuate, avoid the area, or run-hide-fight, drives faster and more correct protective behavior than describing the threat alone.

  Final assessment

  Absent, only 2 of 25 voted present: the notice says "No injuries were reported" and describes no potential harm, severity, or continuing danger.

  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.
