Right-o! Never hurriedly dismiss an understated question in an
open-ended test. These ambiguities provide the opportunity to make
questions anything you want them to be. Acknowledge the gaps, state your
assumptions and build your case on that basis.

Of COURSE the task needed clarification. If I set such a task I would
be almost more interested in how the respondent clarified the task for
himself/herself than in the definition and recommendations.

It's not a writing test, as others have noted, except that it provides a
quick check of grammaticality under pressure. It's a test of
organization, thinking, originality, and prioritization. I suspect that
someone who complained that the task was undefined might be eliminated
from consideration.

Documentation package for WHAT? is my question, to follow yours.
Software? Hardware? Audit Report? Product description? Global Web site?

The task needed clarification.
