"Q: How can I tell if I am Single Operator or Single Operator Assisted?"
The answer is:
"The rules for Single Operator state "all operating and logging functions
are performed by one person (the operator)." The CQ WPX Contest has two
classes of entry for stations with only one operator: Single Operator and
Single Operator Assisted.
You are Single Operator IF you (and only you) *locate AND identify* every
callsign that you put in your log. Locate means to tune in each signal.
Identify means to determine the callsign of the station you are working.
If you cannot say this, then you should enter the Single Operator Assisted
category."
That is, in other words, if you get and use any information telling you in
any way a call and kHz, you are assisted. Even receiving and using
information containing a partial call and kHz makes you assisted.
If you want a second opinion, please consult http://cqww.com/rules_faq.htm
The wording differs a bit.
However the message is the same - or that is how I read these two FAQ

all sorts of silly interpretations as including having a spouse cook for

or using solarham.com to assess space weather conditions be argued to be
assistance.

into the assisted category. Only your use of spots of any kind or Skimmer
does.
