How the first alert is built
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.
AlertSU: A female victim told a mandatory reporter that she was sexually assaulted by a male perpetrator in a student residence at 700 Block Campus Drive between 1:00 a.m. and 2:00 a.m. on Sunday. The parties consumed alcohol together earlier in the evening. Consent from both parties must be obtained before engaging in sexual activity; alcohol or drugs, which may incapacitate one or both parties, are not excuses for assault. Further details regarding the alleged assailant were not disclosed to SUDPS.
Sourcepresent25/25
Final assessment
Unanimous that the source is present, identifying the issuing 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.

Locationpresent25/25
Final assessment
Unanimous that a specific location 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.

Guidanceabsent12/25
Final assessment
A bare majority finds no protective action; the consent statement reads as education rather than a directed instruction, by a narrow margin.
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.

Impactpresent25/25
Final assessment
Present by unanimous agreement; it reports a sexual assault of a victim in a residence, an explicit stated harm to a person.
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.
