Test lockdown alert accidentally sent to the full subscriber list; no emergency

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.

• Sourcepresent25/25

  Final assessment

  Unanimous: it opens with the branded "Montana Tech Alert" signature, so the source is present.

  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.

• Hazardabsent0/25

  Final assessment

  All 25 reads agree it states buildings are in lockdown but names no specific hazard, so the hazard is absent.

  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.

• Locationpresent25/25

  Final assessment

  Unanimous: it cites "All buildings on north campus", a place, so location is present.

  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

  All 25 reads agree it instructs "Lock doors, stay away from windows and doors, turn off lights", protective actions, so guidance is present.

  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.

• Timeabsent0/25

  Final assessment

  Unanimous: no clock time, date, or recency cue appears, so timing is absent.

  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.

• Impactabsent0/25

  Final assessment

  Absent by unanimous agreement; a lockdown with lights-off instructions names no hazard and states no harm or potential consequence.

  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.
