Assault, May 12, 2025

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.

• Sourceabsent3/25

  Final assessment

  Source is present at 3/25. No branded tag, college name, or agency appears. Three passes treated campus as institutional voice and coded source 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.

  See all 25 individual reads

  1. absent: The body never names a sender, brand, college, or police unit, so source is missing.
  2. absent: No Rave, Buckeye, or other alert signature appears at the start or end.
  3. absent: Readers are not told whether the college, DPS, or police issued the banner.
  4. absent: Source fails because the two sentences never identify WHO is sending them.

  12. absent: The issuing or responding authority is unnamed in both sentences.
  13. present: An official-sounding campus lockdown banner is counted here as the institution identifying itself as source.
  14. absent: Source is absent: the message identifies no sender tag and no named agency.
  15. absent: Nothing in the text is a branded alert line or a named public-safety office.
  16. absent: Two factual sentences about campus status still fail to say who issued them.
  17. absent: No college name, no police, no Emergency Management, so source is not present.
  18. absent: The banner is anonymous as to sender, which leaves source absent.
  19. absent: WHO is missing: no signature, no branded prefix, no agency noun.
  20. present: This pass codes source present because campus is locked down is institutional voice, not a news paraphrase.
  21. absent: The responding authority is never identified, so source fails.
  22. absent: Absent sender: the body has no brand, college title, or public-safety name.
  23. absent: Identifying the sender is impossible from this text; source is not there.

  25. absent: The short banner never says who is transmitting it or who is responding.
• Hazardpresent23/25

  Final assessment

  Hazard is present at 23/25. Deciding words are credible threat and locked down, lockdown-as-situation. Two passes called threat as generic as situation without a type.

  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

  2. present: The opening clause names a credible threat rather than a vague emergency or incident.
  3. present: Locked down is listed in the rubric as a qualifying situation type, so hazard is present.
  4. present: Credible threat is more specific than situation or incident, so the what is named.

  11. present: A credible threat is a specific threat class, not the empty word incident.
  12. present: Locked down names the situation type the rubric accepts as a hazard.
  13. present: The hazard is the credible threat cited as the reason for lockdown.
  14. present: Credible threat is the stated what, and lockdown is the associated situation.
  15. present: The phrase credible threat specifies a believed threat, which is enough for hazard.
  16. present: What is happening is a lockdown due to a credible threat, a named pair.
  17. present: Lockdown-as-situation is the hazard the rubric lists, supported by credible threat.
  18. present: Due to a credible threat is a causal hazard clause, not a vague incident line.
  19. present: A lockdown triggered by a credible threat is a specific named hazard.
  20. present: Credible threat names the threat; locked down names the situation.
  21. present: The alert states a credible threat, which is a specific what rather than emergency alone.
  22. absent: Without naming a shooter, bomb, or intruder, threat alone is too vague for hazard.
  23. present: Credible threat is the named hazard that caused the lockdown.
  24. present: Lockdown-as-situation is present in currently locked down, meeting the hazard test.
  25. present: Due to a credible threat, campus is locked down names both the threat and the lockdown situation.
• Locationpresent23/25

  Final assessment

  Location is present at 23/25. Campus and campus activities. Two passes wanted a building or street and coded location absent.

  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.

  19. present: Campus is the location element in both sentences.
  20. present: The lockdown geography is campus.

• Guidancepresent17/25

  Final assessment

  Guidance is present at 17/25. Majority read locked down and activities suspended as stay-put status-as-guidance. Eight passes wanted an imperative such as lock doors or shelter.

  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.

  9. present: Status-as-guidance: if campus is locked down, occupants should stay put and outsiders should not enter.
  10. present: Suspended activities is a keep-away from programming instruction, even without the word evacuate.
  11. present: Lockdown in public-warning practice is the stay-inside, lock-in action recipients must take.

  21. present: Locked down plus suspended activities tell people to remain in place and not continue the day's schedule.
  22. absent: Locked down here is a facility state, not lock your doors or shelter in place aimed at readers.

  24. present: Readers are to treat the campus as closed to ordinary activity, a keep-away form of guidance.
  25. absent: Without an imperative such as stay inside or do not enter, guidance to the recipient is missing.
• Timepresent25/25

  Final assessment

  Time is present at 25/25. Currently, as of 12:36PM, and May 12 are recency, clock, and date cues.

• Impactpresent15/25

  Final assessment

  Impact is present at 15/25. Majority treated credible plus the campus lockdown as severity. Ten passes found no harm clause such as dangerous or injury and coded impact absent.

  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. present: Credible is a seriousness marker, and a campus lockdown implies a high-severity threat.
  2. absent: Naming a threat and a lockdown states the hazard, not what it could do to people or property.

  10. absent: The banner never says what the threat could do, only that it is credible and the campus is locked.
  11. present: A threat judged credible enough to lock the whole campus implies serious potential harm.
  12. present: Credible is the alert's own severity word for the threat.
  13. absent: Hazard naming alone does not satisfy impact; there is no consequence clause about injury or death.
  14. present: All campus activities are suspended states a concrete impact of the threat on campus life.
  15. absent: Absent: no life-threatening, dangerous, or injury language, and credible is not a harm verb.
  16. present: Locking an entire campus for a credible threat strongly implies the harm at stake is serious.
  17. absent: Operational shutdown is not stated harm to people or property under the impact rule.
  18. present: Credible distinguishes this from a rumor and thereby states seriousness.
