To give an example, it's one thing to hire a shadow-writer to write your book for you. It's another to find someone to help you deduce what the original writer wanted before they "fell sick" or "died" etc. In on case you are asking someone to invent something for you because of your inability to do your job yourself, while in the second case you've found someone to help rediscover something that your writer had left you - and her leaving was an unfortunate incident that was outside if your control.
While everyone (at least in the two clubs) know Oreki helped out the Film Club and was cool with it, it's different to have a film by the club with a script "co-written by" Oreki the outsider.
If we compared this one again to the company thing, Oreki would be an outsider with no real attachment to the company in trouble. "help me figure out what my colleague was thinking" vs "help me finish this job".
