Beginning with the 2007 edition of NFPA 13, section 24.6 requires a General Information Sign on the riser so that all of these design considerations are posted for future use. The annex includes a sample of the sign but the data required meets what you're asking for...

We are considering this very idea for the risers protecting storage occupancies.

Wouldn't it be nice if sprinkler shop drawings for storage occupancies included a table or other method to show the derivation of the design density/area of coverage/head selection etc. As a suggestion, a table with the following data: Storage arrangement - Racks (single row, etc), shelf, bin box, solid pile, etc Rack height - Storage height - Shelf type - Aisle width - Commodity class - In-rack sprinklers - NFPA 13 table - NFPA 13 curve - Correction for height - In other words, show the steps used by the designer to get to the selected design parameters.
