Shots fired on 1700 block of W Diamond St

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 message opens with the branded "TUalertEMER" identifier and ends with "Police are responding", establishing who is speaking. Unanimous.

  Present, 25 of 25. "the 1700 block of W Diamond St" gives a precise street block. The reads were unanimous on this point.

  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.

• Impactabsent0/25

  Final assessment

  Absent, 0 of 25. Naming gunfire is not the same as stating its consequences, and the alert gives no injuries or severity. All reads agreed.

  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.
