1. Build the intake around Waseca County service boundaries
Waseca is a municipality in Waseca County. The 2020–2024 American Community Survey 5-year estimate records 9,164 residents, with a margin of error of 22. It does, however, make geographic definition a sensible first decision. A firm serving Waseca may need a different routing rule from a firm serving clients throughout Waseca County or elsewhere in Minnesota. Video Intake can be evaluated against that boundary by asking visitors where their matter arose, where they need representation and whether the firm serves that location.
Recommended approach
Review whether location belongs near the beginning of the survey, which answers require staff review and what should happen when a visitor falls outside the firm’s stated area. Keep city, county and statewide service areas distinct in the question wording and in any routing labels.
