Conduct an in-depth Software Quality Engineering study on the motivation, challenges, and specific problems associated with software requirements, based on Module 06, Sections B and C of the course handouts (Page 43-44). Your study must address the following points:
1) Discuss how a client's lack of interest or low priority on requirement documentation creates ambiguity and uncertainty, and explain why this can lead to the actual purpose of software development being lost (Page 43-44).
2) Analyze why errors produced in the requirements phase are so costly to resolve in later stages of the software life cycle, and discuss the impact of missing or faulty requirements on timeline predictability and customer satisfaction (Page 44).
3) Deconstruct the five key problems that can occur during requirement engineering (Missing Requirements, Client's Lack of Involvement, Wrong Requirements, Changing Requirements, and Out of Scope Requirements) as detailed on Page 44.
4) Formulate an SQA requirements verification policy to mitigate these five problems before development begins.
Finally, write a Python class 'RequirementQualityAuditor' that registers a list of requirements with their parameters (such as whether they are validated, whether the client was involved, whether they are in-scope, and whether they have changed), evaluates the risk of each requirement, calculates an overall project requirement health score, and flags any critical failure risks based on the Cavendish findings.

Perform a comprehensive Software Quality Engineering study on the role of Requirement Engineering (RE) as a primary determinant of project success, referencing the Cavendish Software Chaos Report and Chapter 6 of the course handouts. Your analysis must address:
1) The statistical findings of the Cavendish Software Chaos Report, including the success and failure rates trends and the specific percentage of failure chances attributed to poor Requirement Engineering (Page 43).
2) The three major reasons behind software/IT project failure highlighted by the report, and why Requirement Engineering tops the list (Page 43).
3) Deconstruct why doing Requirement Engineering properly is a 'strenuous task' in today's 'dynamic and turbulent environment' (Page 43).
4) Establish how SQA processes interface with Requirement Engineering to prevent 'toxic requirements' and reduce failure rates early in the SDLC (Page 13, 43).
Finally, write a Python class 'RequirementRiskAnalyzer' that takes a list of requirements, checks for basic risk indicators (such as subjective language, lack of validation, or missing stakeholder commitment), calculates an overall 'Requirement Risk Score', and recommends SQA actions.
