How Orion works

1

Five-factor rules engine

Substitution, control, mutuality, financial risk and “in business on own account” — each weighted per HMRC ESM and case law (PGMOL, Atholl House, Armitage).

2

Contract evidence

Upload your contract on the paid report. Orion extracts verbatim clauses per factor and blends them at 30% weight with your answers — per Autoclenz, practice trumps paper.

3

≥0.95 to auto-decide

Below the Nebula house threshold — or inside the ±0.20 borderline band — the case routes straight to a qualified IR35 reviewer.

4

Audit-ready output

Every paid review is timestamped, model-versioned, and exportable as a Status Determination Statement PDF.
