Steve-

Excellent diagram.  A couple ideas:

1.  You could add (assets) to targets to help emphasize to potential
importance of the targets

2.  You might want to make the arrow to costs bidirectional or have
another arrow looping around from costs to "help determine" to show that
costs have an impact on controls as well.

The more I think about it, what if you made the controls the final block
with costs as an input to place more emphasis on the controls rather
than costs.
