Message elements

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.

Due to the approaching winter storm, #FVSU will transition to virtual operations on Tues. & Wed. Classes will be online & employees will telework. Please check your email or click here https://t.co/oAsIHyEbii for more details. Stay warm, stay alert and stay safe #Wildcats! 💛💙

  • Sourcepresent25/25

    Final assessment

    Present, 25 of 25. The tag "#FVSU" in "#FVSU will transition to virtual operations" is Fort Valley State naming itself as the announcing institution, and the reads found no contrary reading.

    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.

  • Locationpresent19/25

    Final assessment

    Present, 19 of 25. The affected place is the institution itself, "#FVSU", whose operations move online; six reads dissented because no building, street or campus area is named.

    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. Recipients are told "Please check your email or click here ... for more details", plus "stay warm, stay alert and stay safe", so actions are requested.

    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

  • Impactabsent0/25

    Final assessment

    Absent, 0 of 25. The storm is named but nothing says what it could do; "Stay warm, stay alert and stay safe" is a sign off, not a statement of severity or consequence.

    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.
