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.

  • Sourceabsent0/25

    Final assessment

    Majority 25/25 absent. No campus brand, agency name, or alert signature appears in the text.

    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.

    See all 25 individual reads
    1. absent: No campus brand, agency name, or alert signature appears in the text.
    2. absent: The wording never says who is sending the notice.

  • Hazardpresent25/25

    Final assessment

    Majority 25/25 present. Hazard is specific: the text names "MCC ALERT: Due to blizzard, all of MOND…".

    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.

    5. present: Readers learn the hazard type from "MCC ALERT: Due to blizzard, all of MOND…".
    6. present: Hazard present via the explicit phrase "MCC ALERT: Due to blizzard, all of MOND…".
    7. present: The threat is particularized as "MCC ALERT: Due to blizzard, all of MOND…".

    14. present: The message pins the hazard to "MCC ALERT: Due to blizzard, all of MOND…".

  • Locationabsent0/25

    Final assessment

    Majority 25/25 absent. No building, campus, street, or area 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.

    See all 25 individual reads
    1. absent: No building, campus, street, or area is named.
    2. absent: Location is absent: the text never says where.
    3. absent: There is no place cue for recipients to orient to.
    4. absent: L=0 because spatial reference is missing.
    5. absent: The alert omits campus or site detail.
    6. absent: Where this applies is never stated.
    7. absent: No location language appears in the body.
    8. absent: Place naming fails on this wording.
    9. absent: Readers get no geographic anchor.
    10. absent: Location element is not satisfied.

    19. absent: No campus geography is given.
    20. absent: Place element cannot be coded present.
    21. absent: Where-cue is blank in this alert.
    22. absent: Location not established by the wording.
    23. absent: Site detail is omitted.
    24. absent: No area or building reference exists.
    25. absent: L is absent on a pure no-place text.
  • Guidanceabsent0/25

    Final assessment

    Majority 25/25 absent. No protective action or operational instruction is given to recipients.

    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.

    See all 25 individual reads
    1. absent: No protective action or operational instruction is given to recipients.
    2. absent: Guidance is absent: the text does not tell people what to do.
    3. absent: There is no shelter, avoid, evacuate, remote, or similar directive.
    4. absent: G=0 because audience-facing instructions are missing.
    5. absent: The message reports status without directing action.
    6. absent: No what-to-do language appears.
    7. absent: Guidance fails: pure information without orders.
    8. absent: Recipients are not told a protective step.
    9. absent: Instructional content is not present.
    10. absent: The alert omits guidance to the public.
    11. absent: Without a directive, G is zero.
    12. absent: No action line is addressed to readers.
    13. absent: Guidance element codes absent.
    14. absent: What-to-do is left unstated.
    15. absent: The text does not instruct avoidance, shelter, or closure behavior.
    16. absent: Audience guidance is missing from the body.
    17. absent: G fails the protective-action test.
    18. absent: No operational instruction is issued.
    19. absent: Readers get facts but not orders.
    20. absent: Guidance not established here.
    21. absent: Directive language is absent.
    22. absent: The message never tells recipients how to act.
    23. absent: No shelter/evacuate/remote/close instruction appears.
    24. absent: G is absent on non-directive wording.
    25. absent: Protective guidance cannot be coded present.
  • Timepresent25/25

    Final assessment

    Majority 25/25 present. Time is marked by "MONDAY".

    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 is marked by "MONDAY".
    2. present: A temporal cue appears as "MONDAY".
    3. present: When is answered with "MONDAY".
    4. present: "MONDAY" supplies timing or recency.
    5. present: T=1 because "MONDAY" is a time reference.
    6. present: Clock or calendar language: "MONDAY".
    7. present: The alert times the event with "MONDAY".
    8. present: Temporal detail "MONDAY" is present.
    9. present: Time element met by "MONDAY".
    10. present: Recipients see timing via "MONDAY".

    13. present: T codes yes on "MONDAY".
    14. present: A schedule or day marker "MONDAY" appears.
    15. present: Timing is explicit: "MONDAY".
    16. present: The text anchors time with "MONDAY".
    17. present: "MONDAY" is enough for the time element.
    18. present: Recency or clock cue "MONDAY" is stated.
    19. present: T is present via "MONDAY".
    20. present: Date or hour language "MONDAY" supports T=1.
    21. present: Temporal reference: "MONDAY".
    22. present: The when signal is "MONDAY".
    23. present: Time present through "MONDAY".

    25. present: Schedule wording "MONDAY" meets time.
  • Impactabsent0/25

    Final assessment

    Majority 25/25 absent. No consequence or severity language appears beyond naming a hazard.

    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.

    See all 25 individual reads
    1. absent: No consequence or severity language appears beyond naming a hazard.
    2. absent: Impact is absent: the text does not say what the threat could do.
    3. absent: Nothing states danger level, injuries, or disruptive effect.
    4. absent: I=0 because severity or harm is not conveyed.
    5. absent: Hazard may be named, but impact language is missing.
    6. absent: The alert omits consequence wording.
    7. absent: Impact fails the harm-or-severity test.
    8. absent: Readers are not told stakes or effects.
    9. absent: No life-safety or operational impact phrase is present.
    10. absent: Impact element codes absent.
    11. absent: Without consequence language, I is zero.
    12. absent: Severity is left unstated.
    13. absent: The text stops short of impact.
    14. absent: Harm potential is not described.
    15. absent: I fails on bare description without effects.
    16. absent: No dangerous/closed/injury-style impact cue appears.
    17. absent: Impact not established by the wording.
    18. absent: Consequence detail is missing.
    19. absent: The message lacks severity framing.
    20. absent: I is absent under the impact rule.
    21. absent: Stakes for people or property are not stated.
    22. absent: No disruption or harm language is included.
    23. absent: Impact cannot be coded present here.
    24. absent: Effect-on-campus language is omitted.
