How the first alert is built

To check this alert, Claude (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

    source is present based on the short-form wording (25-pass consensus).

    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

    hazard is present based on the short-form wording (25-pass consensus).

    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.

    See all 25 individual reads
    1. present: Hazard/incident type is concretely stated (p0)
    2. present: What happened is named in plain language (p1)

    19. present: Hazard is a distinct clause in the message (p18)
    20. present: Named risk is present for the audience (p19)
    21. present: The post states the nature of the emergency (p20)
    22. present: Hazard content is more than a bare all-clear (p21)
    23. present: Threat description is included in the blast (p22)
    24. present: What is wrong is articulated in the text (p23)
    25. present: Hazard element meets the present threshold (p24)
  • Locationpresent25/25

    Final assessment

    location is present based on the short-form wording (25-pass consensus).

    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.

    See all 25 individual reads
    1. present: Location is named at place or campus scale (p0)
    2. present: Geographic focus is explicit in the text (p1)
    3. present: Where applies is stated for the audience (p2)
    4. present: Place name or campus area is present (p3)
    5. present: Location clause identifies the affected area (p4)
    6. present: Spatial scope is recoverable from the wording (p5)
    7. present: The message points to a concrete place (p6)
    8. present: Campus/building/area is named (p7)
    9. present: Location is not left to inference alone (p8)
    10. present: Place detail appears in the short form (p9)
    11. present: Geographic referent is written out (p10)
    12. present: The text anchors the event in space (p11)
    13. present: Affected location is specified (p12)
    14. present: Where to apply the guidance is clear (p13)

    18. present: Spatial focus is explicit (p17)
    19. present: Named site or campus zone is present (p18)
    20. present: Location is coded present from place language (p19)
    21. present: The message identifies where (p20)
    22. present: Geographic cue is in the alert text (p21)
    23. present: Place is stated rather than assumed (p22)
    24. present: Location string is concrete (p23)
    25. present: Where-element threshold is met (p24)
  • Guidanceabsent0/25

    Final assessment

    guidance is absent based on the short-form wording (25-pass consensus).

    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.

  • Timepresent25/25

    Final assessment

    time is present based on the short-form wording (25-pass consensus).

    When the message applies. A timestamp, the word now or immediately, or a phrase like until further notice tells the reader whether the danger is current and how quickly to act.

    See all 25 individual reads
    1. present: Time cue or validity window is present (p0)
    2. present: Temporal information appears in the text (p1)

  • Impactabsent0/25

    Final assessment

    impact is absent based on the short-form wording (25-pass consensus).

    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.

    2. absent: Impact element is absent (no deaths/injuries/displaced counts)
