How the first alert is built
To check this alert, Claude Opus 5.5 (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
Unanimous: it names a "Home Invasion", with pry marks found on the front door of a shared residence.
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.

Locationabsent0/25
Final assessment
Unanimous: it refers only to "a shared residence", naming no street, building, or 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
All 25 reads find guidance, such as "Keep all exterior doors and windows locked" and "Call 911".
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.

Unanimous: it gives clock times, "6:20 a.m." when the open door was found and "12:15 a.m." when it was locked.

Impactabsent0/25
Final assessment
Unanimous: "no items were reported stolen" and no one was seen, so no injury, loss, or severity is conveyed.
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.
