1. Start with the actual unanswered-call path
Your decision should therefore begin with your own phone experience. Document what happens when a caller reaches the firm outside office hours, when every staff member is occupied, and when a caller does not leave a voicemail. Bosseo’s published AI Answering flow sends calls to your team first and allows the AI to answer if nobody picks up within 20 seconds. That makes the key review question operational: is a missed call currently ending in voicemail, and would a structured conversation be preferable?
Recommended approach
Review a representative period of your phone records and identify unanswered, after-hours, overflow, and repeat calls. Use your firm’s records to decide whether a backstop is worth evaluating.
