Objectives analysis(I)

"You want to know several things. Let me see...you want to know
1. How Mr Court's assailant gained entry to his room
2. How Mr Court's assailant left the premises
3. What holes there are in your security
4. How to fix any holes in your security and
5. Are there any other holes in your security
Have I got that right?"
"Yes. Finally..."
"You can see my problems then I hope..." I began.
"Your problems?"
I guess I was hired and now I had to move from cowering and snivelling servant in to professional investigator. There comes a point where you just have to do your job and earn your money. To be fair, I have lost a lot of work with this attitude and it was one of the many reasons I needed the money so much. The alternative though would be to let the client be deluded in to thinking he would get something I wouldn't be able to give him.
"Yes. My problems. There are 5 items on the list and I can only fully address 2 and provide help on a best endeavours case with the other 3. The 2 that I can help with and how Mr Court's assailant gained entry to his room and how he left the premises.
But then there are the other 3...I am not a security expert or consultant - there could be all kinds of holes in your security - and plenty that have nothing to do with Mr Court's attack. As for fixing the holes and then find others...same problem. I can advise, suggest, discuss, contribute, assist... Look, you seem to have 2 sets of objectives here that are not tightly dependant on each other. You can do either without having to do the other. These 2 sets of objectives are fixing specific security issues that allowed Mr Court to be attacked, and improving your overall security."
Lord Todd nodded thoughtfully.
"To be honest, you might as well just give the second set of objectives to a specialist in security services."
A brief pause. "Fair enough."
"Great. Now...about the first set of objectives. I have some further questions about those."
The sigh, the eyes to the ceiling. "Why am I not surprised?" Lord Todd said.
