I don't get to require anything, but I recommend you make them write a 
preliminary user's manual that answers the questions in the rest of 
your posting. It will help them think about the system features that 
should be considered early and help you to understand what you will 
get.  A user manual may not cover everything you need but it should 
cover a lot.
