I don't have any experience working as a consultant, but how do you define obviousness?

IF there's plenty of prior art, then it's easy to define why something is "obvious" - it had been done may times before.

The lawyers define it as: the constant "false". There is never any such thing as obvious as far as the rules of their game are concerned.
