Speaking with recent bitter experience in mind...don't try to do more than
they want or can cope
with - the time I spent delivering a good solution (ie one *I* would expect
to receive)
meant that I was perceived as being far too slow...and then got the push.

Ask them what they want and then your backside is covered.

PS I'm resisting the temptation to make jokes about the original name of the
Broad Street Mall :
Butt's Centre - from the mediaeval archery field in front of the church!
