1. Start with the bottleneck, not a feature list
Custom software is most defensible when the problem is specific and recurring. Bosseo describes builds such as client portals, intake tools, internal dashboards, referral trackers and tools that connect existing systems. The relevant question for a Wright firm is not whether a large platform can do many things; it is whether one narrow process is costly, slow or difficult to control. Write the problem as a sentence beginning with “someone at the firm has to manually…”. That wording keeps the conversation attached to work your staff actually performs.
Recommended approach
Bring one operational bottleneck to the review first. Record who performs it, what starts it, what information is copied, where the process stops, and what a successful result would look like. If the issue is occasional or already handled reliably by an available product, custom work may not be justified.
