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.
Dear Loyola Community, Campus Safety is notifying you of a criminal sexual assault that has been reported to the Dean of Students office. A student reported that they were sexually assaulted by a non-Loyola affiliated guest in Bellarmine Hall in the early morning hours of November 17, 2024. Crime Prevention Information Anyone with information about a crime is encouraged to immediately contact Campus Safety at 773-508-SAFE (7233) or safety@luc.edu. To contact the Chicago Police Department, please call 911. The only person responsible for sexual misconduct is the perpetrator. It is a violation of University policy to engage in sexual activities without consent from your partner. Someone incapacitated due to alcohol or other drugs cannot consent to sexual activity. While sexual misconduct is never the fault of the survivor/victim, we can all take steps to reduce the risk of sexual misconduct and other crimes in our community. Members of the Loyola community are always urged to take personal safety precautions such as locking their rooms (even when at home), walking in groups, walking in well‐lit and well‐travelled areas, and reporting all suspicious persons and activity to Campus Safety (available 24/7). If you feel uneasy about a situation, trust your instincts and attempt to non‐violently interrupt events if you feel physically safe to do so. Create a distraction and involve others. Take action to change your circumstances and if necessary your environment. Make a commitment to ensure everyone has a safe way home. Being an active bystander doesn't require you to put yourself at risk – if you don’t feel safe to intervene, remove yourself from the situation and call for help. If you or a friend has experienced sexual misconduct, please review information about your rights and options available to you under Loyola’s Comprehensive Policy for Addressing Discrimination and Sexual Misconduct at www.luc.edu/comprehensivepolicy. Additional information is also available at www.luc.edu/equity.

Hazardpresent25/25

Locationpresent25/25

Impactabsent0/25
Final assessment
Consensus that impact is absent: the crime is named without separate severity or injury consequence language.
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.
