Start withthe basics - what sort of dimensions are they expect5ing to see, what drill down functionality, what measures, do they want to see blank children in dimensions (aka null categories in Transformer), what sort of time dimensions (calenday rea, fiscal year etc.) and what sort of relative time categories within this (prior quarter, prior qtd , prior year etc. etc.)
