I'd say they have to define 'sizzle'. When it's just a layout/eye-candy
issue, it's often usefull to give (or let someone else make) a
non-working design of the UI. Also great to weed out possible user
problems that they cannot find you perfectly working but badly placed
usability. Just show it to the people that have to work with it to see
if it makes sense to them.
