    Your question is fine, but consider adding these aspects

    Data Refresh Frequency (Real time, Hourly, Daily)
    Data Connectivity (Import, Direct query, Live connection, APIs)
    Expected number of reports/dashboards
    Data governance aspects (Catalog, lineage, certified data sets)
    Requirement for embedded analytics
    Report Scheduling and Subscriptions
    Dev, Test, Prod and Version Control
    Migration of existing reports

    Solid list. Main gaps to add:

    Data refresh frequency and scheduling.
    Team skills (SQL, DAX, Python) since this drives tool fit.
    Licensing model: per-user vs capacity pricing.
    Embedding needs (reports inside another app or portal).
    Non-database sources (APIs, Salesforce, flat files).
