Inclement weather closes campus for Friday

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 opens "Henry Ford College will be closed", so the announcing institution names itself, and the hfcc.edu link reinforces that the college is speaking.

  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.

• Hazardabsent7/25

  Final assessment

  Absent by 7 of 25. The only cause given is "due to inclement weather", a generic label that names no specific condition such as snow or ice; the seven dissenters counted weather itself as the hazard.

  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.

• Locationpresent20/25

  Final assessment

  Present, 20 of 25. "Henry Ford College will be closed" ties the closure to a named institution as the affected place; five reads objected that no campus, building or street is named.

  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.

• Guidancepresent25/25

  Final assessment

  Present, 25 of 25. Every read points to "Refer to https://www.hfcc.edu/ for details", an explicit instruction sending recipients to the college site for further information.

  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.

• Impactabsent0/25

  Final assessment

  Absent, 0 of 25. The text stops at the fact of closure and never says what the weather could do to people or property, or how severe conditions are expected to be.

  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.
