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.

RU Alert: Lockdown Shelter in place. Get to a secure location.

  • 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

  • Hazardpresent25/25

    Final assessment

    Majority 25/25 present. Hazard is specific: the text names "RU Alert: Lockdown Shelter in place. Ge…".

    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.

  • 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.

    7. absent: No location language appears in the body.
    8. absent: Place naming fails on this wording.

    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.
  • Guidancepresent25/25

    Final assessment

    Majority 25/25 present. Guidance is the instruction "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.

    See all 25 individual reads
    1. present: Guidance is the instruction "Shelter in place".
    2. present: Protective action appears as "Shelter in place".
    3. present: Recipients are told to act via "Shelter in place".
    4. present: "Shelter in place" is a direct what-to-do line.
    5. present: G=1 because "Shelter in place" instructs the audience.
    6. present: The alert directs action with "Shelter in place".
    7. present: Guidance present: "Shelter in place".
    8. present: A clear instruction is "Shelter in place".

    10. present: "Shelter in place" counts as protective guidance.
    11. present: Action language "Shelter in place" meets guidance.

    13. present: Guidance codes yes on "Shelter in place".
    14. present: Operational direction: "Shelter in place".
    15. present: Instructional content includes "Shelter in place".
    16. present: "Shelter in place" is audience-facing guidance.

    19. present: The text's guidance signal is "Shelter in place".
    20. present: Recipients receive the directive "Shelter in place".

  • Timeabsent0/25

    Final assessment

    Majority 25/25 absent. No clock time, date, or recency word such as now or today appears.

    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. absent: No clock time, date, or recency word such as now or today appears.
    2. absent: Time is absent from the alert text.
    3. absent: Nothing tells recipients when this applies.
    4. absent: T=0 because temporal cues are missing.

    8. absent: When is left unspecified.

  • 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.
