I guess this is the thing to do here??

Cool. Great to see the internal process continues to be worked on.

It may be most effective to write out the user stories for these 
concerns. In particular, we've been trying to do this here for 
cross-project cost/benefit analysis, and for rapid iteration planning:

Whilst I don't think it's any more than a beginning, and not definitive 
in any way, "working up" such stories (between us all) is perhaps the 
only way to keep things sane.
