Attempted robbery outside campus library; victim keeps donuts after being pushed

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.

  Final assessment

  Nearly all reads agree TUPD (Tulane University Police Department) is named as issuer throughout, with contact numbers and NOPD referenced; a couple of dissenting reads found no explicit signature, but the majority is clear.

  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.

  Final assessment

  Unanimous agreement: the report describes an attempted robbery/theft of the victim's box of donuts, with the suspect pushing the victim.

  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.

• Locationpresent25/25

  Final assessment

  Unanimous agreement: the exact address, 7001 Freret Street near Howard-Tilton Memorial Library, is given.

  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.

• Guidanceabsent9/25

  Final assessment

  Most reads find the message only asks recipients to call police with tips or lists generic 'be aware/report' crime-prevention tips, not a protective action tied to a current threat; a minority read the generic safety tips as sufficient guidance, but the majority view prevails.

  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.

• Timepresent25/25

  Final assessment

  Unanimous agreement: the message gives the specific date and time, June 27, 2024, at approximately 6:20 a.m.

  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.

• Impactabsent0/25

  Final assessment

  Unanimous agreement: no stated harm, injury, or severity beyond describing the theft attempt and shove.

  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.
