It's an interesting concept for a story.  If I were to continue it 
(which, I'm afraid,
I'm not - I have my hands full with "Relentless" and real life, so I'm 
just going 
to muse a bit about directions the story could run and leave it at 
that), I don't
think I'd let it run so smoothly as you'd projected (i.e., Nabiki 
solves most of the
problems in the storyline relatively quickly).

Well, if Lawson were to do it, things would work out because he likes 
Nabiki. In reality, of course, Nabiki would simply get stomped on:

Ranma:  Would die before he'd recognize her authority over him. He would 
fight her like a boy possessed; Nabiki would have to escalate things 
dramatically just to win a temporary victory.

Kunou:  She may be able to get him to see the truth about the 
'pig-tailed girl', but nothing short of Akane directly telling him that 
she doesn't love him would have the least effect.

Kodachi:  Nabiki would very likely wind up in a lot of pain, if not 
dead. She simply can't hope to fight Kodachi in any meaningful way.

Shampoo:  This amazon would kill her in an instant if she felt Nabiki 
posed a serious threat to her mission.

Ukyou: Least likely to physically harm Nabiki, she is far to stubborn, 
canny, and strong-willed to let anyone influence her goal of marrying 
Ran-chan.

Ryouga:  The fact Nabiki is a girl would probably be enough to save her 
from serious injury. Probably. She would be in a position to cause him 
an unbearable loss of face, so all bets are off on her chances of 
survival.

The point of all this is that if Nabiki tap-danced with giants, she 
would likely be stepped on.
