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.

Final assessment
Present, 25 of 25: the branded "Illini-Alert Emergency" prefix names the campus system issuing the warning about East Green Street.
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.

Locationpresent25/25
Final assessment
Present, 25 of 25: the fire is placed at "505 E Green St", a specific address in the campus town area.
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

Present, 25 of 25: "Avoid area" and "leave immediately" both tell recipients what protective action to take.

Impactabsent0/25
Final assessment
Absent, 0 of 25: the alert reports a fire but says nothing about smoke, danger to occupants, or how serious the blaze is.
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.
