1. Start with the workflow, not the software category
A custom build is most useful when a repeated process does not fit the tools your firm already has. Examples may include moving information between systems, routing a new inquiry, collecting documents, tracking referrals, or giving clients a clearer view of a matter. These are examples of possible scopes, not claims about your firm’s current operations. The important question is where staff members repeatedly compensate for a system’s limitations.
Recommended approach
Describe the bottleneck in ordinary language: who performs the task, what information they handle, where the process stops, and what the next person needs. Bosseo can use that description to discuss a bounded build rather than starting with an unnecessarily broad platform.
