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.

Hazardpresent25/25

Locationpresent25/25
Final assessment
Present, unanimous at 25 of 25. The leak is placed "on Norman Campus in Jenkins Avenue Parking Facility", a named structure on a named campus.
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.

Impactabsent0/25
Final assessment
Absent, with 0 of 25 finding impact. The alert reports the leak alone and never mentions explosion risk, fire, or any health consequence of the escaping gas.
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.
