From what I can tell… (my apologies if I’m incorrect on this)
Okay, you have several other suspects that have different agendas (or functions of their phones).
Some might be handovers, some might be meetings, or whatever (I can’t recall or know all the different types).
So once you know who the main target actually is - you have to trail whoever they meet up with. Because the Objective has to work on the main/actual target. If their tell is a handover - using a phone that is for a meeting will not contact them. So you have to KO another target that has a phone for a handover.
You might be SOL if you KO the actual target and use their phone. Because then they’d have to be found by a guard, woken up… and at that point they could panic and try to exit. And, once a phone is activated… I don’t know if any KO’d suspects will then try to come to the phone location or not once they’re woken up. Like, if you used THEIR phone to arrange… Yeah, that wouldn’t make sense since they shouldn’t have their phone.
Edit to add list of Agenda types.
Agenda
Business Meeting
- Suspects with the Business meeting agenda will seal shady deals with handshakes
- On-site to attend a Business meeting with other suspects
- Business meeting suspects carry Blue burner phones
Handover Meeting
- Suspects with the Handover meeting agenda will meet up and exchange a package
- Suspects are on-site to exchange illegal items
- Handover meeting suspects carry Green burner phones
Secret Meeting
- Suspects with the Secret meeting agenda will meet up for a covert conversation
- On-site to exchange secrets with other suspects
- Secret meeting suspects carry Red burner phones
So whatever the main suspect agenda is - you have to get another suspect’s phone for the correct agenda/meeting.
One could make a graph or scheme/plan chart…
meets up with and
meets up with
meets up with and (This one might be incorrect)
Or whatever. There can be more NPC types (a mix of random features). Some meet up with more than one person, others only have a 1 on 1 meeting, etc.
This isn’t to accurately convey what might happen, but a rough example, and to emphasize just how closely you have to watch and notice things about any of the suspects.
