Sexual assault crime alert for campus community — Twitter and Facebook

To check this alert, Claude Opus 5.5 (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.

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

  All 25 reads agree the source is present: the numbered 'Crime Alert 2023-05' names the Ann Arbor Police Department (AAPD), and DPSS is also cited.

  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: the alert names a 'Sexual Assault' in its title and summary, a specific crime 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.

• Locationpresent25/25

  Final assessment

  Unanimous: it says the assault occurred 'on a private golf course' where the survivor's vehicle was parked.

  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

  All 25 reads find guidance in the safety tips, such as 'Walk with a trusted friend', 'Report suspicious behavior. Call 911', and not giving building access to strangers.

  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.

• Timeabsent0/25

  Final assessment

  Unanimous that no date, clock time, or recency cue for the assault appears; 'Crime Alert 2023-05' is an alert number, not a time reference.

  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.

• Impactabsent4/25

  Final assessment

  A strong majority finds no stated consequence or severity beyond naming the crime; a small minority read the survivor 'being assaulted by two unknown males' as conveying 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.
