Could clearer British signaling prevent or shorten World War I?

A government that understood naval and army war plans might mobilize the fleet earlier or conduct conspicuous North Sea exercises during the July Crisis. Clearer signals of British intervention could alter the Kaiser's calculations or weaken Austria-Hungary's confidence in German support, allowing less severe demands on Serbia and buying time. The Kaiser might still assume that Britain would stay out, so stronger signaling offers no guaranteed deterrent. Delay could also strain the Entente as British and Russian disputes over India and other Russian activities accumulated. If war began, a better-prepared Gallipoli operation might defeat the Ottoman Empire and reopen Black Sea supply routes to Russia. That could bring an earlier peace, perhaps in 1917, and remove the circumstances leading to Brest-Litovsk. The duration and outcome remain uncertain because changes in ministers, fleets, joint command, and political aims would interact.
