Contractor or employee - the 2022 High Court contract-primacy approach

The same task, run on 28 models. Compare the outputs side by side, or open any one in a popup to inspect it.

Top result: claude-opus-4-8 (low reasoning) at 100.0% composite. Lowest: claude-haiku-4-5 at 0.0%. 28 models compared on this task.

How it ran
  • Each model was given the brief below in a fresh, isolated session with no access to our tools, and returned its answer from scratch.
  • The rendered output was scored 1 to 5 on brief fidelity, visual design, craft, and impact by a four-family vision panel - Anthropic (Claude Opus 4.8), OpenAI (GPT-5.5), Google (Gemini 3.1 Pro), and xAI (Grok 4.3) - using one identical prompt so the scores compare. The published judge score is leave-one-family-out: a model is never scored by a judge of its own family, so same-family self-preference is removed.
The brief

This is a benchmarking hypothetical, not legal advice. The law is the approach the High Court of Australia took in 2022, as at FY2025-26. A young labourer signs a comprehensive written contract with a labour-hire company. The contract describes him as a "self-employed contractor", but it also requires him to do the work the labour-hire company directs, to work when and where it tells him on its client's sites, and gives the company the right to control how he carries out the work. He has no business of his own, supplies no significant equipment, and cannot delegate the work. The written contract is not a sham and is wholly in writing. Answer in three parts: (a) On one line beginning with "Classification:" state the single word employee or contractor. (b) State the controlling approach the High Court adopted and name the leading case. (c) Name one practical consequence of the classification for the engaging business.
