When I was at Disney Imagineering, we called that a scope document. I got
to assemble info, for example, about square footage for a ride at
Disneyland, plus how many scenes, number of AudioAnimatronic figures,
special effects, length of the ride cars, riders per hour, and so on.
Nothing about how it all worked. That doc drove the initial cost estimate.
