1. Start with your actual unanswered-call path
The Holly population estimate does not show how many people call a particular firm, when they call or whether the firm needs more staff. Those decisions belong to your own phone records. Review what happens when the team is already on another call, the office is closed, a holiday interrupts normal hours or nobody can answer within the firm’s chosen response path. Bosseo’s public AI Answering page describes a team-first arrangement: calls ring the firm’s people first, and the AI steps in if nobody answers within 20 seconds. It also describes coverage for nights, weekends, holidays and overflow.
Recommended approach
Map each current path from incoming call to human response. Identify where callers reach voicemail, where a busy line blocks another caller and where no owner is assigned. Then decide whether an AI safety net should cover all unanswered calls or only defined periods and conditions. Use your own call history rather than Holly’s population as the basis for that decision.
