01 / The starting point

A clear request.
A useful direction.

A completed intake form with contact details, service interest, urgency, and context

An example request · Make it specific to your team.

02 / The work

6 tasks.
One useful outcome.

Turns client intake into an organized first response and an internal summary that highlights higher-urgency requests.

  1. Capture the client’s intake

    Collect the client’s name, contact details, selected service, stated urgency, area, and account of their situation.

  2. Acknowledge receipt

    Send the appropriate service-specific confirmation so the client knows their submission has arrived.

  3. Prepare a tailored first response

    Use the submitted goals and context to prepare a personal response without filling gaps with assumed facts.

  4. Highlight higher-urgency cases

    Mark an urgency score of seven or above and bring that intake to the responsible advisor’s attention.

  5. Give the advisor a useful summary

    Share the intake details and urgency indicator so a person can decide what attention is needed.

  6. Send the first response

    Deliver the prepared response to the client and keep the advisor responsible for consequential judgement and next steps.

03 / The result

Something useful.
Something to build on.

The handoff

The client receives a service-specific confirmation and tailored first response, while the responsible advisor receives an intake summary with a clear urgency indicator.

Keep in mind

Urgency and tailored guidance rely on the information submitted and are not a professional assessment. A person should handle urgent, unclear, or consequential matters and correct any response before relying on it.

04 / Make it yours

Set the brief.
Set the standard.

A few choices shape the work around your team.

Define the intake questions

Choose the contact, service, urgency, area, goals, and background details the advisor needs.

Prepare service-specific confirmations

Write an accurate receipt message for each offered service and confirm the intended sender and recipient.

Set the urgency guidance and owner

Explain how clients should score urgency and choose who receives higher-urgency intake summaries.

Review response boundaries

Set expectations for the first response and identify urgent, unclear, or consequential cases that need a person.

Put your next idea to work.

Start with your brief. Make the process your own.
