Built for the exact moment this starts costing money, trust, or time.
Small businesses using freelancers, 1099 workers, agencies, specialists, or long-term contractors who need a disciplined classification review before or during an audit.
This helps when
- building one fact file per worker instead of arguing from job title or contract label
- separating defensible specialist engagements from risky quasi-employee relationships
- coaching managers whose daily practices are creating risk
- creating a clean reclassification lane when the facts do not support contractor treatment
- locking a better onboarding control so the same drift does not reappear

Use the guide, scripts, and tracker to organize the facts, choose the next move, and keep follow-up from slipping.
