1. Start with the Fullerton service area, not a population assumption
Fullerton is a CDP in Lehigh County, Pennsylvania. The Census population estimate provides geographic context for a law firm deciding which inquiries belong in its intake design, but it cannot tell you how many people will contact the firm, which legal services they need or whether additional staff are required. A sound automation review should therefore distinguish Fullerton from the broader county, other Pennsylvania locations and any metropolitan area the firm serves. The system should reflect the firm’s actual service boundaries and matter criteria rather than treating one place name as a qualification rule.
Recommended approach
Bring the firm’s real service-area rules to the consultation. Review whether location is collected as an intake answer, whether it affects routing, and where a human should assess an inquiry that falls outside the firm’s stated scope.
