1. Start with the workflow, not the software category
The strongest custom-software brief is usually a sentence describing work someone at the firm repeats manually. That might involve intake, matter updates, referral tracking, document collection or internal reporting. The relevant question is where the process stalls, duplicates information or depends on someone remembering the next step. Bosseo’s published product information describes custom tools such as client portals, intake tools and internal dashboards, but the appropriate scope depends on your firm’s actual process.
Recommended approach
Describe one recurring bottleneck in plain language. Identify who performs each step, what information they need, where the information is entered, and what should happen next. Keep the initial decision narrow enough that the firm can define acceptance criteria for a bounded prototype.
