Start with the Pineville service area, not a generic software brief
Pineville is recorded as a municipality in Mecklenburg County. The 2020–2024 ACS five-year population estimate for Pineville town is 11,055, with a margin of error of 58. That geographic fact helps define the local service area for your review; it does not establish legal demand, case volume, search behavior or revenue. For custom software, its practical value is boundary-setting. Decide whether the proposed tool is for work connected specifically to Pineville matters, for the whole Mecklenburg County practice, or for a broader North Carolina operation. Those are different permissions, reporting and testing questions.
Recommended approach
Write the intended operating geography into the scope. Identify which users, matters and reports should include Pineville, and which should cover the wider firm. Do not use population as a forecast for software return.
