active-threat campus emergency notice — threatening person 1

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.

  Final assessment

  Present, 25 of 25. Both short messages open with the branded "MU Alert" tag, which is the whole of the attribution but enough to identify the campus system as 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.

  Final assessment

  Present, 25 of 25. The two line alert names the threat outright: "Threatening person with knife", and the all clear refers to the "Subject with knife".

  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. The encounter is placed "at Lee Street and Wilson Avenue" and the custody point is given as "on Rosemary Street".

  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, 25 of 25. Recipients are told "Evacuate and stay away from area", pairing a movement order with the note that "Police are responding".

  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

  Present, 25 of 25. The pair is clock stamped "1:55 p.m." for the alert and "2:01 p.m." for the all clear, a six minute span.

• Impactpresent16/25

  Final assessment

  Present, but split 16 of 25. The majority read "Threatening person with knife" as conveying risk of injury; nine reads objected that no consequence or severity is ever spelled out.

  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.
