Message elements

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.

Muir College is currently experiencing a power outage. Facilities Management expects power to be restored in approximately 60 minutes.

  • Sourcepresent25/25

    Final assessment

    25 of 25 passes found S present (25 present / 0 absent). Facilities Management is a named agency; Muir College is the branded campus unit.

    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

    25 of 25 passes found H present (25 present / 0 absent). Power outage is a specific threat.

    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.

    See all 25 individual reads
    1. present: Phrase "power outage" names a specific infrastructure threat, not a generic situation.
    2. present: This wording identifies a power outage as the specific incident.
    3. present: Present because a power outage is named as the specific threat.

  • Locationpresent25/25

    Final assessment

    25 of 25 passes found L present (25 present / 0 absent). Muir College is a named campus place.

    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.

    See all 25 individual reads
    1. present: Place "Muir College" is where the outage is occurring.
    2. present: This wording places the outage at Muir College, a definite campus location.
    3. present: Present because the outage is located at Muir College.
    4. present: The location is Muir College, the named college where power is out.
    5. present: The outage is located at Muir College as the affected campus site.
    6. present: Locates the outage at Muir College.
    7. present: this text places the outage at Muir College

    25. present: The outage is placed at Muir College, so the vote is present
  • Guidanceabsent0/25

    Final assessment

    0 of 25 passes found G present (0 present / 25 absent). No protective instruction is given to recipients.

    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: Forecast "power to be restored" is status only, not a protective instruction.
    2. absent: This wording predicts restoration and never instructs recipients on any protective action.
    3. absent: Absent because a restoration estimate is status only and directs no protective action.
    4. absent: The guidance is missing; a restoration estimate does not tell recipients how to protect themselves.
    5. absent: Recipients receive an outage status update with no protective action to take.
    6. absent: Omits any protective instruction such as avoiding elevators or staying in place.
    7. absent: this text gives no protective instruction for anyone to take
    8. absent: A protective step such as avoid elevators or use caution would have counted; an expected restore time is operational status only.
    9. absent: I read a restoration estimate only, with no shelter, avoid, or other protective instruction.
    10. absent: Does not count as protective instruction because no guidance such as avoid elevators, stay in place, or use backup lighting is given.
    11. absent: Recipients are not instructed to evacuate, stay away, or take any other protective action.
    12. absent: Restoration because an expected return of power is status language, not a protective instruction.
    13. absent: A protective instruction such as avoid elevators or stay clear of buildings is not offered.
    14. absent: A restoration forecast is offered, with no shelter or avoid order for recipients.
    15. absent: From the wording nobody is told to leave, shelter, or take any protective action.
    16. absent: An expected restoration window is not a protective instruction for people to follow.
    17. absent: Here an expected restoration is status only, with no order to evacuate, stay away, or otherwise protect oneself.
    18. absent: An expected restore window is status only and is not a protective instruction cue.
    19. absent: Coding guidance absent because an expected restore time is operational and gives no protective instruction.
    20. absent: Nothing tells recipients to leave, stay inside, or take any other protective step.
    21. absent: On this pass restoration is described but no shelter, avoid, or other protective instruction is given.
    22. absent: A restoration estimate in 60 minutes is operational news, not a safety instruction (a 1 would tell people to avoid elevators or stay inside).
    23. absent: Nothing instructs recipients to leave, stay away, shelter, or take any other protective action.
    24. absent: The notice reports the outage and an expected fix. It does not tell anyone to stay away, evacuate, or take another protective action.
    25. absent: A restoration estimate tells people nothing to do for their safety, so the vote is absent
  • Timeabsent12/25

    Final assessment

    12 of 25 passes found T present (12 present / 13 absent). 12 of 25 treated 60 minutes as time; majority did not.

    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.

    See all 25 individual reads
    1. present: Phrase "is currently experiencing" marks the outage as present now.
    2. absent: This wording gives a 60 minute restoration guess but no clock time, calendar date, or the cues now, today, or immediately.
    3. present: Present because the outage is described as currently underway.
    4. present: The time cue is currently for the outage, with restoration expected in about 60 minutes.
    5. present: Currently marks the outage as present and restoration is expected within sixty minutes.
    6. absent: Lacks a clock, date, now, today, or immediately marker, giving only a 60 minute restoration estimate.
    7. absent: this text uses currently and 60 minutes but never a clock, a date, now, today, or immediately
    8. present: The cue is "currently," which marks the outage as happening now.
    9. absent: I read currently and about 60 minutes, which are not clock, date, now, today, or immediately.
    10. present: Counts as timing because currently marks the outage as happening now.
    11. present: Recipients are told the outage is currently happening, which marks the time as now.
    12. absent: Duration because currently and about 60 minutes are not a clock, a date, now, today, or immediately.
    13. absent: A clock, date, now, today, or immediately cue is missing, and currently plus a 60 minute restore guess do not match that list.
    14. present: Currently experiencing marks the outage as present, and restoration is expected in about 60 minutes.
    15. absent: From the wording there is no clock, date, now, today, or immediately, only an expected restoration in about 60 minutes.
    16. present: Currently marks present timing, with restoration expected in about 60 minutes.
    17. absent: Here currently and a 60 minute restoration estimate are not a clock, date, now, today, or immediately marker.
    18. absent: Currently and a 60 minute estimate are not a clock, date, now, today, or immediately cue.
    19. absent: Coding time absent because currently and a 60 minute estimate are not a clock, date, now, today, or immediately cue.
    20. present: Currently places the outage in the present, and restoration is expected in about 60 minutes.
    21. absent: On this pass currently and a 60 minute restore estimate are not clock, date, now, today, or immediately.
    22. present: Currently experiencing timestamps the outage as happening now (a 0 would refuse currently because the word now never appears).
    23. absent: Nothing supplies a clock time, a calendar date, or the words now, today, or immediately.
    24. present: Currently marks the outage as happening now, which is a present-time cue like the word now.
    25. absent: Neither currently nor a 60 minute restore window is a clock, date, now, today, or immediately cue, so the vote is absent
  • Impactabsent0/25

    Final assessment

    0 of 25 passes found I present (0 present / 25 absent). Restoration estimate does not state harm or severity.

    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: Naming "power outage" states the hazard without extra consequence or severity.
    2. absent: This wording does not describe harm, disruption, or other consequences beyond naming the outage.
    3. absent: Absent because nothing beyond the outage name states harm, damage, or other consequences.
    4. absent: The impact is missing because a power outage is the hazard name itself and no further harm or severity is described.
    5. absent: Naming the power outage adds no injury, danger, or other stated consequence.
    6. absent: Lacks any harm or operational severity beyond naming the outage.
    7. absent: this text states no harm or extra severity beyond naming the outage
    8. absent: Unsafe conditions, trapped people, or other harm would have counted; naming a power outage is the hazard, not a consequence.
    9. absent: I read only the power outage hazard, with no extra harm, closure detail, or severity beyond that name.
    10. absent: Does not count as consequence or severity because the notice never says how the outage harms people, classes, or equipment.
    11. absent: Recipients get only the power outage name, with no extra harm or severity described.
    12. absent: Naming because the outage label alone states no injury, closure, or other severity.
    13. absent: A consequence such as injuries, closures, or unsafe conditions is not stated beyond the outage name.
    14. absent: Power outage names the hazard itself, without added harm or severity beyond that outage.
    15. absent: From the wording the outage is named with no harm, damage, or other consequence.
    16. absent: Naming the outage adds no severity such as injuries, building closures, or unsafe conditions.
    17. absent: Here naming the outage does not describe injury, damage, or other severity beyond the hazard itself.
    18. absent: No trapped persons, closures, or other severity cue is stated beyond naming the outage.
    19. absent: Coding impact absent because naming the outage adds no injury, closure, or other severity.
    20. absent: An expected restore window restates the outage without injury, danger, or other consequence.
    21. absent: On this pass naming a power outage states the hazard only, without harm or added severity.
    22. absent: No injury, unsafe buildings, or other consequence is added to the outage name (a 1 would need stated harm or severity).
    23. absent: Nothing states harm, closures, or other severity beyond naming the power outage.
    24. absent: The outage is the hazard name. There is no extra severity such as unsafe buildings, injuries, or people trapped.
    25. absent: Nothing states injury, damage, or other consequence beyond the outage name, so the vote is absent
