1. Map the Leitchfield intake boundary before choosing automation
Your geographic scope should be explicit. Leitchfield is a city in Grayson County, Kentucky; a firm may serve people in the city, elsewhere in Grayson County, or a broader Kentucky area. Those are different routing and qualification questions. Automation should not decide eligibility from a city name alone. It should preserve the location information a prospective client provides and send the inquiry to the appropriate human review path. Begin by listing the service area your firm actually accepts, the matter types it handles, and the inquiries that require a decline or referral. The city’s population estimate of 6,819 is useful as geographic context, but it cannot tell you how many people will contact the firm or what staffing model is appropriate.
Recommended approach
Use the consultation to define location fields, service-area rules and exceptions. Ask whether a Grayson County inquiry should follow the same path as a Leitchfield inquiry, and identify cases that must be reviewed before any follow-up is sent.
