Message elements

How the first alert is built

To check this alert, Claude Opus 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.

Illini-Alert Emergency. There has been a stabbing at the 100 block of East Green St. Avoid area. More information to come.

  • Hazardpresent25/25

    Final assessment

    Present by 25 of 25. The text reports "a stabbing", a named violent act rather than a vague word like incident, so the hazard is explicit.

    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

    Present, 25 of 25 agreeing, because the alert places the stabbing at "the 100 block of East Green St", a defined block rather than a general area.

    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.

  • Guidancepresent25/25

    Final assessment

    Present by 25 of 25: the two word instruction "Avoid area" tells recipients exactly what protective step to take, with no dissent among the reads.

    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.

  • Timeabsent0/25

    Final assessment

    Absent, with 0 of 25 finding timing. "There has been a stabbing" places the event in the past but offers no clock time, no date, and no recency word.

    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

    Absent at 0 of 25. The alert names the stabbing and promises "More information to come" but never states injury, severity, or any continuing danger to readers.

    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.

    2. absent: No consequence or danger to recipients is described.
