+# Reviewer Workload Equity Guard
+
+Self-contained Community & User Reputation System slice for
+`SCIBASE-AI/SCIBASE.AI#15`.
+
+The guard evaluates pending peer-review assignments before they affect profile
+reputation, badges, leaderboards, or project timelines. It checks reviewer
+capacity, weekly review hours, opt-outs, leave windows, rest periods, expertise
+match, early-career penalty risk, and recent review-credit concentration.
+
+This is intentionally separate from broad reputation ledgers, endorsement rings,
+leaderboard eligibility, review civility, review timeliness scoring, recusal/COI,
+calibration benches, edit-history integrity, identity-leak checks, appeals,
+mentorship, correction-impact, credit attestation, profile visibility, and
+template-rubric validation. Its job is to stop unfair negative reputation deltas
+when the reviewer was overloaded, unavailable, or mismatched before scoring.
+
+## Run
+
+```bash
+npm run check
+npm test
+npm run demo
+npm run demo:video
+```
+
+## Outputs
+
+- `reports/summary.json`
+- `reports/reviewer-packet.md`
+- `reports/summary.svg`
+- `reports/demo.webm`
+
+All data is synthetic. The module does not call identity services, profile
+systems, leaderboards, email systems, review assignment systems, or external
+APIs.
