Start with the Pottstown service area, not a population assumption
A firm serving Pottstown may receive inquiries from the borough and from elsewhere in its service area. The Census record identifies Pottstown borough and its relationship to Montgomery County; it does not establish how many people search for legal help, which matters they need, how many contact a particular firm or whether automation is warranted. That distinction matters when you decide what to automate. Use the consultation to define the geographic scope of the firm’s intake and then examine the inquiries that actually enter the business. Do not use the borough’s population as a substitute for a workload forecast.
Recommended approach
Bring a recent description of your service area and matter categories to the review. Ask which inquiries should be accepted, which require immediate human judgment and which may receive a standard acknowledgment or scheduling path. Geographic context should shape routing questions, not create unsupported demand claims.
