Campus police activity at 23rd and Toberman with street closure

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.

• Sourcepresent25/25

  Final assessment

  Present, 25 of 25. The capitalized "Police Activity" names law enforcement as the responding authority behind this UPC area notice.

  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.

• Hazardabsent0/25

  Final assessment

  Absent, 0 of 25. The reported "Police Activity" identifies no hazard, and the flat sentence "No immediate threat exists." confirms nothing is being warned of.

  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 area of "23rd Street and Toberman Street" is given, with "23rd Street is closed between Portland Street and Union Avenue" adding precision.

  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.

  Absent, 0 of 25. No time, date, or word such as now appears; the closure is stated with no indication of when it began or lifts.

• Impactabsent0/25

  Final assessment

  Absent, 0 of 25. Rather than conveying potential harm, the alert declares "No immediate threat exists.", the opposite of an impact statement.

  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.
