Message elements

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.

*FSU ALERT!* Severe Thunderstorm! A severe thunderstorm warning has been issued for FSU Main Campus. Seek shelter immediately.

    Final assessment

    Majority 25/25 present. FSU ALERT branding identifies the campus alert sender.

    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.

  • Locationpresent25/25

    Final assessment

    Majority 25/25 present. Location is FSU Main Campus, named explicitly.

  • Impactabsent0/25

    Final assessment

    Majority 25/25 absent. No consequence or severity language such as dangerous or deadly appears.

    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.
