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.
SDSU is aware of an SDG&E power outage impacting some of our residential buildings and the local area. The university will provide updates as soon as they are available. According to SDG&E, power is expected to be restored by 9:30 p.m.
Sourcepresent25/25
Final assessment
All 25 passes treat SDSU as the official source.
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.

Hazardpresent25/25
Final assessment
Every pass marks the SDG&E power outage as the hazard.

Locationpresent25/25
Final assessment

Guidancepresent25/25

The university will provide updates is treated as guidance.

Impactabsent0/25
Final assessment
All 25 passes find no stated harm to people.
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.
