Weather-related campus closure MU Alert notice — through tuesday feb

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 unanimous. "The University of Missouri campus and UM System" announces its own extension of remote operations and closes by pointing readers to "MU's campus closure policies."

  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

  Present, all 25 of 25. The extension is attributed directly to "winter weather conditions," repeated later in the guidance on "how winter weather is affecting any off-campus activities."

  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

  Present, 25 of 25. The scope is "The University of Missouri campus and UM System," extending to named facilities including "MU Health Care hospitals and clinics and the Veterinary Health Center."

  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

  Present, 25 of 25. Instructors are told to "communicate this with their students as soon as possible," staff to "contact their supervisor," and everyone to judge "if they can travel safely to campus during inclement weather."

  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.

  Final assessment

  Present, 25 of 25 without dissent. A single explicit endpoint is given: remote operation continues "until 11:59 p.m. Tuesday, Feb. 16," even though the headline and body dates conflict.

  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.

  Final assessment

  Absent, 0 of 25. No line states what the winter weather could do or how dangerous it is; the consequences described are makeup lab work, paid time off and premium pay.

  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.
