Campus return to normal operations notice

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.

• Sourcepresent24/25

  Final assessment

  Near-unanimous: the notice speaks for 'The campus and UM System office in Columbia', identifying the institution. One read found no sender.

  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.

• Hazardabsent7/25

  Final assessment

  Most reads judged 'inclement weather' too generic to name a specific hazard; a sizable minority counted it. With no storm type or severity named, absent stands.

  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: it names the campus and UM System office in Columbia.

  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 agree guidance is present: people are told to 'exercise good judgement when deciding if they can travel safely to campus'.

  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.

  Final assessment

  Unanimous: normal operations resume 'at 12:01 a.m. Friday, Feb. 18'.

• Impactabsent1/25

  Final assessment

  Near-unanimous: no consequence or severity is stated. One read took 'can travel safely' as implied travel risk, which is too indirect.

  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.
