1. Set coverage around your firm’s actual response path
Bosseo describes AI Answering as a safety net rather than a replacement for your front desk: calls go to your team first, and the AI answers when nobody picks up within 20 seconds. It also describes coverage for nights, weekends, holidays and overflow. For a Mount Ivy practice, the relevant question is not whether the CDP’s population is large enough to justify a phone system. The useful question is where your current path breaks: outside office hours, during court appearances, at lunch, or when several callers arrive at once. Review your call records by time and outcome before deciding which calls should forward to the system.
Recommended approach
Map your existing number, business hours, unanswered-call rule and callback owner. Decide whether the AI should answer every unanswered call or only defined periods. Keep the decision tied to observed firm operations, not to Mount Ivy’s population estimate.
