1. Start with the Fitchburg service area, not a population assumption
Your firm may serve Fitchburg within Worcester County while also accepting matters from elsewhere in Massachusetts. The useful question is operational: when an inquiry comes from someone you serve in Fitchburg, what information must be available before a person decides whether to respond?
Recommended approach
Define the service-area questions and matter categories your team actually uses. Review whether location is collected as an intake answer, whether it changes ownership or urgency, and whether a person needs a human review before any next step. Keep geographic eligibility separate from assumptions about demand.
