1. Start with the Tichigan service boundary, not a population assumption
Tichigan is a census-designated place in Racine County, Wisconsin. The Census estimate describes the place and its households; it does not establish how many people need legal help, how many inquiries a firm receives, which practice areas are relevant or whether automation is necessary. For a firm serving Tichigan, define the service area you actually intend to handle before deciding how inquiries should be routed. A Tichigan inquiry may require a different owner, urgency rule or consultation path from an inquiry outside the firm’s service scope.
Recommended approach
Use the consultation to document geographic eligibility as an intake decision. Review how your website, forms, phone handling and staff distinguish Tichigan and other Racine County locations from matters the firm does not handle. Do not create a routing rule merely because a place has a recorded population. Create it only if geography affects acceptance, urgency, attorney review or the next client-facing action.
