Message elements

How the first alert is built

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.

PCCAlert PCC: Police Activity East Campus Follow Police instructions. If off campus, stay away. If on campus, shelter in place.

  • Sourcepresent25/25

    Final assessment

    Present, 25 of 25. The message opens "PCCAlert" and then "PCC:", a branded sender line, with "Police" named as the responding authority.

    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

    Absent, 0 of 25. "Police Activity East Campus" names a response category only; no weapon, fire, or other specific threat is disclosed anywhere.

    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.

    See all 25 individual reads

  • Locationpresent25/25

    Final assessment

    Present, 25 of 25. "East Campus" identifies which of the college campuses is affected, which is the only place cue but a sufficient one.

    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. Readers get "Follow Police instructions" plus the paired actions "If off campus, stay away. If on campus, shelter in place."

    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

    Absent, 0 of 25. The text carries no clock reading, no date, and no marker such as currently, so the timing of the activity is unknowable.

  • Impactabsent0/25

    Final assessment

    Absent, 0 of 25. Nothing states the seriousness of the police activity or what harm it might cause; only actions to take are given.

    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.
