intents
Goals in mind
Intents is the plural of intent—purposes or aims behind actions.
The word appears most often in the phrase for all intents and purposes, meaning in every practical sense: The project is, for all intents and purposes, finished.
Legal contexts distinguish between criminal intents (premeditated, negligent) when determining culpability.
