MAS methods still lack coverage to the goal elicitation process, especially on how to identify goals from corporate information, mission statements and from interviews with stakeholders. Only after eliciting goals we will be able to properly deal with goal models. On the other hand, intentionality models, for example the i* framework, are, usually, complex and difficult to read. By contrast, this paper proposes an indirect inquire process that can identify goals in a bottom-up and simple elicitation approach together with a proposal to reduce the problem of scalability of i* models.
