resolvers
Those who settle
Resolvers are people or things that resolve—that settle disputes, find solutions, or bring matters to conclusion.
In computing, a resolver is software that converts domain names into IP addresses, translating human-readable web addresses into numerical locations: The DNS resolver couldn't find the server.
Someone described as a resolver tends to fix problems rather than create them: She's a natural resolver of workplace conflicts.
