derivers

Those who deduce

Derivers are people or things that derive—that obtain something from a source or arrive at conclusions through reasoning.

The word appears most often in technical contexts: derivers of income from multiple sources, derivers of mathematical proofs.

In computing, a deriver may be a function or process that generates one thing from another.
