I definitely have a lot to learn about letting go. If you realize that no matter how much you analyze, you'll probably never get it 100% right, it frees you up a bit to deliver good enough first and iterate from there. Allowing yourself to learn through the process is key instead of expecting yourself to do all your learning before delivery!

One architect actually said to me "Don't talk to the Business, they'll only give you requirements". Maybe needing to get the details right AND being able to let go is just another part of the Zen of Business Analysis. I feel a post coming on, or ready to be drafted anyway.
