1. Start with the geographic definition, not a population claim
Those distinctions matter because a dashboard can become misleading when a firm treats Whitman, Plymouth County, Massachusetts, a metropolitan area, households and individuals as interchangeable. A rank or lead attributed to one geographic scope should not be presented as evidence about another. During evaluation, ask Bosseo to show how service-and-city targets would be named, how county or statewide targets would be separated, and how the firm would review contacts whose location is unclear.
Recommended approach
Bring a written geographic list to the consultation. Separate Whitman from Plymouth County, Massachusetts-wide work and any metropolitan-area targeting. Decide which geography belongs in each reporting view before judging performance.
