In your design, which can be displayed graphically or textually, include 1) contents of fact table – with grain size, and primary key and facts, 2) contents of dimension tables, with primary key, attributes  – and what one record corresponds to.

Unfortunately, they have not already created an Enterprise Data Warehouse Bus Matrix (but you can skip that step too – only worry about the one particular business process for now).
