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 phrase "There is police activity" names police as the agency working the described stretch of streets.
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. A bounded area is drawn, "Jefferson Blvd. to 29th Street. Walton" across to "Budlong Ave. at University Park Campus", despite a stray auto linked URL.
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.

Impactabsent0/25
Final assessment
Absent, 0 of 25. The text asserts that "no immediate threat exists", denying harm rather than conveying any potential consequence.
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.
