Seattle and Tacoma campuses return to normal operations Wednesday; Bothell delayed until

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. The notice speaks in the university's own voice about "the UW Seattle, Bothell and Tacoma campuses" and relays what "UW Bothell has announced", so the institution is plainly the 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.

• Hazardpresent25/25

  Final assessment

  Present, 25 of 25, unanimous on the wording "patches of ice which remain hazardous", which names the residual winter condition the notice is about.

  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 three named campuses plus the "main roadways and pathways" where the ice persists fix the affected places precisely.

  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. "Commuters and pedestrians are encouraged to stay on main roadways and pathways" while "using extra caution" is a direct protective instruction.

  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. Operations "remain suspended Tuesday", a return to normal "Wednesday", and stamped updates "at 7:23 p.m." and "at 8:27 p.m." anchor the timing.

  When the message applies. A timestamp, the word now or immediately, or a phrase like until further notice tells the reader whether the danger is current and how quickly to act.

• Impactpresent25/25

  Final assessment

  Present, 25 of 25. The ice patches "remain hazardous until temperatures rise long enough to fully melt them", stating the danger they pose to those walking and driving.

  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.
