My definition of "assistance" is fairly narrow.  

I define assistance as any "INFORMATION from outside which identifies the
call/QRG of other stations in the contest which I did not personally locate
and copy on the air".

That definition includes spots, skimmers, SCP data and other prefill
material not developed from MY on-the-air efforts.
