1. Set the geographic boundary before you interpret a number
Mission city is a municipality in Johnson County, Kansas. A Mission-focused view should therefore distinguish the city from the county and from any broader Kansas or metropolitan targeting your firm may use. The population estimate describes Mission city, not the number of households searching for counsel and not the number of potential clients. A dashboard can be useful only when its location labels match the question being asked. “Where do we rank?” could mean Mission, Johnson County, a wider service area or the state. Those are different measurements.
Recommended approach
Ask Bosseo to show how location is represented in the dashboard and how you would separate Mission observations from Johnson County or broader Kansas observations. Agree on naming conventions before reviewing trends. Do not treat a city-level ranking, call or lead as proof that Mission residents created it unless the underlying attribution supports that conclusion.
