High wind warning with possible gusts up to 50 mph

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.

• Sourcepresent25/25

  Final assessment

  Present on a 25 of 25 vote: the leading "URGENT CU ALERT" brand functions as the sender signature for Clemson's notification channel.

  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, unanimous at 25 of 25, because "High Wind Warning" names the specific meteorological hazard being warned 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 with all 25 of 25 reads agreeing: the notice states it was "issued for the Clemson area", supplying the affected geography.

  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.

• Guidanceabsent0/25

  Final assessment

  Absent on a 0 of 25 vote with no dissent: the message stops at the warning and its gust figure, never asking recipients to shelter, secure objects, or change plans.

  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.

• Timepresent25/25

  Final assessment

  Present, 25 of 25: an explicit expiry is given, the warning running "until 1:15pm", so the reader knows when it lapses.

  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 by 25 of 25, because "Possible gusts up to 50 mph" quantifies the strength, and therefore the potential damage, of the forecast wind.

  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.
