Were I the consultant on this project, the first thing I'd do is get a clearly articulated routing policy, at least in rough RPSL. I might need to put in some informal constructs or add drawings to define the scopes of NAT. Before that, I'd start with some rough drawings at the AS-to-AS level, and the NAT scopes within your AS.
From experience, talking about configurations with more than a few Internet-connected routers doesn't scale. It's far more important to get the requirements down and then see what configurations are needed.
