As many, if not all, of these should be established before the brainstorming/sketching begins.  This is also where various team members can have valuable input by stating up front what things are important as they see it.  For example the education/content developers will have content points that need to be hit and the visitor services folks may want to make sure that the exhibit or program really handles a class or a camp-load of visitors.  And of course the exhibit department wants things to be practical and realistic to operate.
