1. Start with the Clayton service boundary, not a population assumption
Clayton is recorded in Genesee County, Michigan. A firm serving Clayton should therefore decide how an inquiry is identified: by the person’s stated location, the matter’s location, the service area selected in a form, or another firm-defined rule.
Recommended approach
During review, define what makes an inquiry relevant to Clayton and Genesee County. Decide whether location is a qualification field, a routing factor, a reporting dimension, or simply information retained for staff review. Keep this decision separate from assumptions about demand.
