All I see is the languages and tools, nothing on the size of the DB or front end, nothing on the kind of data.

He said it was a web form that allowed the user to enter parms, and then passed the parms on to the SQLServer stored procs. He said the app then returned links to the user.

This is a very complete description, and yes, I could build a prototype from that info.

I've had less to go on at least once!!! And that app turned out to be a smash success.

Yeah, how many tables are these reports generating from? How many different reports? What's the level of number crunching going on? What's the structure of the report? Governmental or private? How exacting are the formating requirements?

That description is exactly nothing. You could NOT build a prototype from that, you don't know the first thing about the data, what's your parameter list gonna look like?

And don't BS us saying you've written a program based on less. That's not possible. While I've worked with some pretty skinny specs in my time I at least knew what kind of data the app was manipulating. This description doesn't give us that.
