Define the geography before reading the numbers
A dashboard can only answer a local question when the local scope is explicit. Phillipsburg is recorded as a municipality in Warren County, New Jersey. That relationship matters when you decide whether a report should isolate Phillipsburg, include Warren County, or cover additional areas served by the firm. A population estimate describes the municipality; it does not establish how many people search for legal help, which practice areas are active, or how many matters a firm can obtain. Bosseo’s public ROI Dashboard description refers to service-and-city targets, city data and case-type reporting. Ask how those labels would be defined for your firm rather than treating the town’s population as a forecast.
Recommended approach
Write the geographic rule into the measurement plan: Phillipsburg-only, Warren County, or a broader service area. Keep those views separate so a county total cannot be mistaken for Phillipsburg performance. During a review, ask which ranking targets, calls, forms and matters would be assigned to each geography.
