How the first alert is built
To check this alert, SuperGrok Heavy 4.5 (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.
February 22nd, 2025 Battery and Trespassing Incident UPDATE: Subject was located and arrested earlier today, a special thanks to an alert student who saw the bulletin and spotted the subject in the area and called UPD. The subject pictured below was harassing and then touched a student’s shoulder as they were walking on a sidewalk north of campus. The subject later followed a student into RHO when the entry door opened and he knocked on a room door stating that he was looking for his girlfriend. The subject then exited the building and left the campus area north on University Way. He was wearing a tan long-sleeve button-down shirt, dark-colored pants, and a tan hat. He has dark brown hair and a short-length beard and appears to be in his 30s. If you have any additional information please contact the University Police at 727-873-4444 or stp-police@usf.edu. As always, be careful to not allow persons to follow you into the building unless you know them. Immediately report suspicious persons and incidents to the University Police.

Impactpresent25/25
Final assessment
All 25 reads agree this element is present.
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.
