1. Start with a geographic definition that can survive scrutiny
A dashboard can be precise only when the underlying geography is precise. Brunswick is recorded as a municipal town in Cumberland County. Your consultation should distinguish Brunswick from Cumberland County, the broader Maine market and any other service area your firm chooses to evaluate. Those are different reporting scopes. A count labelled “Brunswick” should not quietly include countywide or statewide activity.
Recommended approach
Ask Bosseo to show how location labels would be defined in the dashboard and in any ranking or lead views. Decide whether a city, county or state measure answers each business question. Keep geographic fields separate from household, individual and matter information. If a view combines locations, require the combined scope to be visible rather than implied.
