Break the requests into two parts, the evaluations and then the re-design (or fix as you stated it). Let them know the extent of the evaluation and recommendation effort up front. Then, when you report back, weight the importance and include a scope of effort for the various items. If they buy into this process, then you have at least half a chance of not only helping them, but coming away with a good product that you can be proud of. Mark
