1. Start with the Horn Lake service area, not a population assumption
Automation therefore should begin with a service-area and matter-eligibility review. Identify the locations you serve, the matter types you accept, and the boundaries that affect routing or escalation. Those rules can then inform what information an inquiry should provide and which person should receive it.
Recommended approach
Use your consultation to document Horn Lake, DeSoto County and any additional service areas separately. Decide which geographic answers matter to intake and which should remain a human decision.
