In response to "no no no. "Assess for, and alert, authorities." Oh, I see the problem. I'm not moving it, I'm adding a second one. -- nm" by loosilu

but "authorities if it senses identity fraud" can't stand alone as a clause.

it needs "alert".
In any case, I'd rewrite as "and even assess for identity fraud and alert authorities if identified"

Responses:

    - Yes, the rewrites are better. I was meaning if you kept the order of the words the same. - Subversive May 18, 08:37
