Alan, basically the piano needs to be stabilized no matter what tuning is
presently on the piano.
 
>>>>> Okay.
First you need to straighten the strings from the hitch pin to the bridge.
Hope they did that at the factory but don't count on it.

Space the strings. 
 
>>>>> Okay.
 
Pull a note up to pitch + 10 and with your brass rod put the kink in the
string on both sides of the bridge and at the capo bar.
 
>>>>> Kink on the string? What kink? Seat string to bridge and pull up against
capo? 
 

Then straighten the coil.
 
>>>>> Okay, lift and  tighten.
 
Measure the pitch of the note and tell the owner that has to be done to
every string. Probably the note dropped 25 cents and you're lucky. If it
didn't drop (pick a likely looking string) the owner is lucky and tell her
she just needs one of your tunings and the thing will be fine. Of course if
it drops 50 cents it is going to take an extra hour. I figure two hours
minimum just to get to a two pass tuning.
 
>>>>> Okay.
 
Pull the piano sharp based on how much the strings dropped when settling.
 
>>>>> What formula/percentage do you use to calculate the overpull?
 
Pull the action and do the settling.
 
>>>>> Pull the action? How come? What is "the settling?"
 
Make a pass and play the thing hard for a few minutes. Be sure you tightened
any bass strings that might need it.
 
>>>>> "Tighten" bass strings? As in remove loop, twist in direction of winding,
and replace loop? 
 
Tune it. Schedule the next tuning in 3 months. Add some voicing. If she
thinks she can get the other guy to do all that, get out of there quick.
 
>>>>> Okay. This part I definitely get.
