Recommended approach
Bring your intended geographic scope to the review. Decide whether an inquiry should be treated differently based on location, jurisdiction, matter type or urgency. Then ask whether those distinctions belong in intake questions, routing rules, follow-up language or staff review. Keep geographic eligibility separate from assumptions about language, call volume or case value.
