1. Start with the bottleneck, not the product category
Custom software is most useful when a process repeatedly depends on copying, checking, forwarding or remembering. A firm might describe the issue as “someone re-enters every consultation,” “staff cannot see which lead owns the next action,” or “clients call for updates that the team already has.” Those statements identify a workflow problem; they do not yet define a build. Bosseo’s stated approach is to map the bottleneck, design around the firm’s process, show a working version early and refine it with feedback.
Recommended approach
Bring one recurring manual process to the review. Record who performs each step, where information enters, where it is duplicated, what decision is made and what evidence would show that the proposed tool works. Treat a broader platform replacement as a separate decision unless the review demonstrates that a smaller tool cannot solve the problem.
