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.

    Final assessment

    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

    Unanimous agreement that rape and non-consensual sexual contact name a specific hazard rather than a generic incident.

    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

    All 25 reads find location in Ward Hall, a named building.

    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.

  • Guidanceabsent2/25

    Final assessment

    Most reads find no protective instruction: contacting Campus Safety for additional information is a tips request. A minority treats that phone line as guidance.

    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.

    See all 25 individual reads
    1. absent: No sentence tells recipients to avoid Ward Hall, lock doors, or take other protective action.
    2. absent: Contact Campus Safety if you have additional information is a request for tips, not guidance.
    3. absent: Care and resources are for the reporting party, which describes responder aid rather than public action.
    4. present: The close tells readers to contact Campus Safety at 407-646-2999, an action similar to calling police.
    5. absent: Being connected with campus offices describes help for the victim, not an instruction to the audience.
    6. absent: There is no shelter, evacuate, stay away, or remain indoors language.
    7. absent: The body reports a past rape case and never instructs the audience to protect themselves.
    8. absent: Timely Notification is a product label, not an instruction to lock doors or leave.
    9. absent: Nothing directs people to avoid the hall, monitor updates, or stay inside.
    10. absent: Recipients are not told to stay inside, leave, or secure their rooms.
    11. absent: Guidance is absent: the text has no instruction telling people what to do to stay safe.
    12. absent: Please contact Campus Safety is a tips line, which is not a protective action.
    13. absent: Both parties have been identified is status, not a directive to the public.
    14. absent: Providing care to the reporting party is responder work, not guidance to recipients.
    15. absent: The notice never says call 911, evacuate, or lock doors.

    24. absent: Guidance fails because the only ask is to share additional information, not to take cover or leave.
    25. absent: Protective action for the public is missing, and only a tips contact is offered.
  • Timepresent25/25

    Final assessment

    Broad agreement that November 4, 2024 and early morning hours of November 3, 2024 satisfy time.

  • Impactabsent4/25

    Final assessment

    Most reads find no impact because rape names the crime without extra severity wording. A few treat contact without consent as implied harm.

    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.

    See all 25 individual reads
    1. absent: Rape names the offense without extra severity words such as dangerous or life threatening.
    2. absent: No sentence states injury, trauma, or other consequences the rape could cause.
    3. present: Without consent implies a violation of the other student, a stated kind of harm.
    4. absent: Impact is absent because naming rape does not by itself describe what it could do.
    5. absent: There is no could be deadly, may cause injury, or similar consequence language.
    6. absent: Non-consensual sexual contact describes the conduct, not the harm it could produce.
    7. absent: No reason to believe there is an ongoing threat actually denies present danger rather than stating impact.
    8. absent: The message does not warn of injury, danger, or further attacks.
    9. absent: Naming a crime does not by itself convey how serious the effects are.
    10. absent: Impact fails because only the crime name and a building appear, with no consequence clause.
    11. absent: There is no life threatening, may cause injury, or destructive wording.
    12. absent: Threat to campus safety appears only to say there is none, which is not a severity claim.
    13. absent: Care and resources for the reporting party do not equal a statement of what rape could do.
    14. absent: The notice never says the rape could injure anyone or endanger others.
    15. present: Rape is a crime of bodily violation, and without consent strongly implies harm to the student.
    16. absent: Impact is not present: there is no stated consequence beyond the crime's name.
    17. absent: Providing care does not equal stating the hazard's potential effects.
    18. absent: Both parties identified adds case status, not a harm or severity clause.
    19. absent: The text does not call the rape dangerous, damaging, or life threatening.
    20. present: Engaged in sexual contact without consent is a harm cue toward the other student.
    21. absent: No explicit statement of what the rape could do to people is given beyond the crime name.
    22. absent: Campus safety is mentioned only to report the absence of an ongoing threat.
    23. absent: The word threat appears, which some could read as severity, but it is used to deny risk.
    24. present: Rape and without consent together strongly imply bodily harm to the reporting party.
    25. absent: Impact coding fails: the hazard is named without a separate consequence or seriousness phrase.
