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.
10:48 a.m.: The National Weather Service has issued a wind advisory for the Puget Sound area. Gusty winds (20-30 mph) may cause tree and power line damage. Expect cloudy skies and rain showers around Husky Stadium throughout the day today. Winds should gradually diminish through the day, with showers decreasing again through the late evening. If you are on the UW campus, including attending the UW football game, please come prepared for wet and windy weather. If you are tailgating, secure or break down tents, canopies and other items that could blow away and become safety concerns. Keep away from heavily wooded areas during high winds and watch for falling branches. The National Weather Service is also forecasting a 15% chance of an isolated thunderstorm this afternoon.

Final assessment
Present, 25 of 25. "The National Weather Service has issued a wind advisory" names the issuing body, and the closing thunderstorm forecast is attributed to it again.
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. The hazard is quantified, "Gusty winds (20-30 mph)" under a wind advisory, plus "a 15% chance of an isolated thunderstorm this afternoon."
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. Three nested places are given, "the Puget Sound area," "around Husky Stadium," and "the UW campus," so readers can tell whether they are affected.
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. Tailgaters are told to "secure or break down tents, canopies and other items," and everyone to "Keep away from heavily wooded areas during high winds."
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. It opens at "10:48 a.m." and traces the weather "throughout the day today," "this afternoon" and "through the late evening."
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 potential consequences are named: the winds "may cause tree and power line damage," and readers should "watch for falling branches."
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.
