Attempted sexual assault near Hutchinson Hall

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.

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 by 25 of 25: the notice reports that "Police are searching for a man", attributing the search and the description to law enforcement.

  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.

  Final assessment

  Present at 25 of 25: the location is given and then corrected, "Attempted assault occurred near Hutchinson Hall, not Willow Hall", both named campus buildings.

• Impactabsent0/25

  Final assessment

  Absent, unanimously at 0 of 25: the text says the attempt happened and that the suspect fled southwest, but never states injury, danger level, or what harm the man might do.

  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.
