1. Start with Badger’s actual service area
Badger is recorded as a census-designated place in Alaska, with a recorded county relationship to Fairbanks North Star Borough. That distinction matters when you decide what the intake should ask. A firm may serve Badger, the borough, other Alaska communities or a narrower territory. The video path should not imply that every visitor is eligible simply because they are nearby. Location questions can help the firm identify whether an inquiry falls within its service area, but the Badger population estimate cannot establish search demand, competition, case volume or revenue.
Recommended approach
Define the geographic boundary the firm is willing to review before writing the intake path. Decide whether location is an early screening question, a later qualification question or a matter for staff review. Keep Badger, Fairbanks North Star Borough and Alaska as separate geographic concepts in the firm’s internal rules and public wording.
