rebalance
Even things out
To rebalance is to restore balance or adjust proportions that have shifted.
The word appears most often in finance, where investors periodically rebalance portfolios to maintain target allocations: I rebalance my 401k every quarter.
It also applies to redistributing anything that has drifted from equilibrium—workloads, power dynamics, ecosystems.
