1. Match the intake path to the work you accept
Bosseo describes CLIONT as a guided survey built around a firm’s practice areas. Bosseo says each case type can have its own question path and that the survey can be weighted toward the work the firm wants to grow. That makes practice-area design the first decision for an Eureka firm. Do not use that figure to decide which matters are valuable or to imply that a particular legal need exists. Instead, define the firm’s actual service territory and acceptance rules. A visitor from Eureka may not fit the firm, while a visitor elsewhere in Humboldt County may require a different review path.
Recommended approach
List the practice areas the firm currently accepts, the geographic limits for each, and the facts that determine fit. Ask Bosseo to show how those rules would be represented in separate paths. Keep legal advice, conflict review and final matter acceptance with the firm. A useful evaluation asks whether the proposed questions collect enough context for a human review without presenting an automated result as a legal conclusion.
