## From README

Gathering Architecture Requirements Work through each area systematically, gathering requirements and making decisions before proceeding to the spec. --- Dimensions and Structure At what granularity will users input data for each business dimension? At what granularity will calculations occur? Do dimension item mappings change over time (employee moving cost centers)? What level drives user access rights? Are there organizational hierarchies with varying granularity needs? Which dimensions are required in the structure? Can any be replaced with properties or mapped dimensions? --- End User UX Can you provide wireframes or mockups of desired input screens? Can you share examples of current reports before Pigment? On which dimensions do users need to input? What are the key final reports (P&L, etc.)? What variations need to appear as columns in reports? What KPIs or ratios are required, and how are they calculated? Do certain calculations require separate metrics vs calculated items?
