Acme recently hired Jane, an accountant and auditor with an MBA degree, to perform an "efficiency audit" for the company. According to her written contract, Jane will "visit and inspect Acme's factory, review all of its operations, using her own resources, and issue a report recommending ways that it can cut costs and improve productivity." The contract does not specify how or when Jane will perform the audit, but it requires the report be completed in two months. Upon completion, Acme will pay Jane a flat fee of $12,000.

Analyze whether a court is likely to classify Jane as an employee agent (i.e., dependent agent) or an independent contractor (i.e., independent agent). Make sure to discuss all relevant facts and factors, and to reach a conclusion.
