adjusters
Claims settlement specialists
Adjusters are people who adjust things—most commonly insurance adjusters, who investigate claims and determine how much the insurer should pay.
The term also applies to mechanical devices that make fine adjustments: The brake adjusters need replacing.
In both cases, the job is calibrating something to its proper position or value.
