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.

  • Impactpresent25/25

    Final assessment

    Majority 25/25 present. Impact is conveyed by "A Severe Thunderstorm Warning has been…".

    What the hazard could do to the people in its path.
