It sounds like you need a design sprint; which fits fairly neatly into waterfall as an early step.

Google (even though I loathe suggesting anything google these days) has comprehensive documentation on how they do their two week design sprints; I have done them a few times and they do a damn fine job of helping you to find the work you need to do.

@natecox Damn! That's an excellent idea, actually! Thank you so much.
