crunchers
Those who calculate
Crunchers are people or things that crunch—that is, process large amounts of data, numbers, or information systematically.
Number crunchers work through calculations methodically, whether they're accountants, analysts, or computers doing heavy computational work.
The data crunchers in our analytics department ran the quarterly reports.
The term often carries connotations of tedious but necessary work, grinding through figures without much creativity involved.
