The brief
Model the traffic, find the knee, and produce a capacity plan somebody can budget against. The brief is deliberately incomplete — you make and justify the tradeoffs.
Deliberately ambiguous — you make and justify the tradeoffs. Your work is checked against a held-out evaluation you can't see in advance.
