Campus police activity at 35th and Budlong/Normandie

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, unanimously at 25 of 25. The opening clause "There is police activity" names police as the agency acting at the scene, which the reads accept as the identified authority behind the 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, with 0 of 25 finding a hazard. No threat type is ever named; the message offers only "police activity" and then states that "no immediate threat exists".

  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 at 25 of 25. The notice pins the scene to "35th Street & Budlong / Normandie and Exposition Blvd at UPC", naming several cross streets and the campus.

  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. The closing sentence "Please stay away from the area" tells recipients exactly what protective action to take.

  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

  Absent, 0 of 25. Nothing in the two sentences carries a clock time, a date, or even a recency word such as now or ongoing.

• Impactabsent0/25

  Final assessment

  Absent, 0 of 25. Rather than describing any possible consequence, the message rules one out, saying "no immediate threat exists".

  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.
