1. Start with the calls your team cannot answer
Bosseo describes AI Answering as a safety net rather than a replacement for your front desk. Calls go to your team first; if nobody answers within 20 seconds, the AI picks up. It also describes coverage for nights, weekends, holidays and overflow. For a Lake Murray of Richland practice, separate calls from the CDP and the wider Richland County service area in your own records. The Census geography identifies the CDP and county relationship, but it does not establish when callers contact you or how many calls you miss.
Recommended approach
Review your phone routing and recent call records. Identify unanswered calls by reason—after-hours, lunch, simultaneous calls, holidays or another condition—and decide which paths should trigger AI Answering. Do not size the decision from population alone.
