When they ask for "All the heavy users of CPU time", but don't specify what a "heavy user" actually is, to me, then the only option is to show all the CPU users, in descending order of CPU time vs. wall-clock. Wayu too often, this runs to several pages, just because of the nature of the workload.

When you don't have a clear set of specs, how can you live up to them?

I don't think that's foolish, at all.
If you can't summarise an issue and/or resolution down to one or two pages, 
maybe you don't understand it yourself.
Management doesn't really need the back story, just the results.
