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.
Nov. 26, 2018 Due to weather, MU will delay opening until noon. Vital services - hospital, vet clinics, campus dining will remain on regular hours.
Sourcepresent25/25
Final assessment
Present, 25 of 25. The notice is issued in the university voice, "MU will delay opening until noon", which every read took as institutional attribution.
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.

Hazardabsent0/25
Final assessment
Absent, 0 of 25. "Due to weather" is all the text offers, with no snow, ice or storm named, so no read found a stated hazard.
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. "MU" together with "hospital, vet clinics, campus dining" places the delayed opening at the Missouri campus and its facilities.
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.

Absent, 0 of 25. The two sentences announce a noon opening and unchanged vital service hours; nothing directs recipients to do anything.

Impactabsent0/25
Final assessment
Absent, 0 of 25. Reads were unanimous that no consequence, severity or risk from the weather appears anywhere in this short message.
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.
