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.

Hazardpresent25/25
Final assessment
All 25 passes found Severe Thunderstorm Warning (25/25).

Locationpresent25/25
Final assessment
All 25 passes found Athens Campus (25/25).

Guidanceabsent2/25
Final assessment
A small minority (2/25) read campus targeting as guidance. 23/25 found no protective instruction. Majority absent.
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.

Impactabsent1/25
Final assessment
A single pass (1/25) treated severe thunderstorm as implied severity. 24/25 found no impact clause. Majority 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.
