Why this screener exists.

Classcreen exists because worker classification problems are usually operational before they become legal. A founder, operator, or HR lead often knows the arrangement feels fuzzy, but the facts are scattered across manager habits, old paperwork, and assumptions about how contractors are supposed to work.

This tool gives that person a calm first pass. It gathers the facts, translates them into a plain-language risk band, and surfaces the main reasons without pretending to issue a legal verdict. The goal is not to replace counsel. The goal is to make the next conversation smarter and faster.

Use it when you need a structured review, a cleaner handoff to payroll or legal, or a way to pressure-test whether a role is drifting into employee territory. Do not use it as the last word on a high-stakes classification decision.
