Nice summary Tom.
Unless it's a client that I've worked with in the past I always ask for a sample mix before taking on a project or getting a deposit. This dialog usually sets the expectations on what is required, and if the client wishes I provide feedback on ways the mix might be improved so that there is less of a compromise with mastering.
Education can be a big part of a mastering project since it's often so misunderstood.
