reckoners
People who compute
Reckoners are people who calculate or compute—those who reckon.
The term appears in historical contexts for those who kept accounts or tallied figures: The reckoners balanced the ledgers each quarter.
In broader use, reckoners are people who assess situations or settle scores: History will be the final reckoner.
