Robbery investigation update near campus (notice 2)

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 agency is named twice, "Seattle police are responding" and "Seattle police contacted both individuals".

  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.

  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.

  Final assessment

  Present, 25 of 25. The intersection "15th Avenue NE and NE 45th Street" is given, shortened in the next update to "45th & 15th".

  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.

  Final assessment

  Absent, 0 of 25. Every line reports status, from "No arrest yet" to police confirming "this was not a random assault", and none asks the reader to take any action.

• Impactabsent0/25

  Final assessment

  Absent, 0 of 25. Severity is subtracted rather than stated, "No weapon involved", and the final update confirms "nothing was stolen". No injury or consequence appears.

  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.
