ORIGINAL MESSAGE sent at 9:08 a.m.:

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. "Officials have reported" the problem and "UWPD" is named as the agency to reach, with its direct line 206-685-8973 supplied.

  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, 25 of 25. The failure is specific: "a 9-1-1 issue affecting parts of the Seattle campus", with calls "being routed to Seattle Police Department dispatch" instead of UWPD.

  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.

  Final assessment

  Present, 25 of 25. The scope is stated as "parts of the Seattle campus", specifically calls placed "from campus buildings".

  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. Two clear instructions are given: "To reach UWPD, please call 206-685-8973" and "Please do not test the system."

  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.

• Impactpresent13/25

  Final assessment

  Present on a narrow 13 of 25 split. The majority reads the routing detour to SPD dispatch, which calls "then need to be transferred to UWPD dispatch", as a stated delay in emergency response; dissenters call that mechanical, with no severity named.

  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.

  6. present: It explains calls are misrouted to SPD and must be transferred, delaying emergency response.
  7. absent: It describes rerouting and transfers but never states what that delay could cost anyone.
