Follow the intake path

Each guide answers one operational question. Together they form a connected first-contact system with explicit professional boundaries.

01
Meet the caller where they are
Capture language and accessibility needs before asking the person to repeat a complex story.
02
Record, do not interpret
Collect identifiers, matter context, and caller-stated dates without predicting status or outcomes.
03
Schedule the approved next step
Route the inquiry with context and make the consultation process clear.
