# Curator Status

The "which accounts should I return to?" report — ranks PROF-S curators by their
**return-to score** (inducted-ref count × average GRADE of surfaced papers) and
surfaces curators overdue for a revisit, plus discovery orphans.

## How to run

```bash
aiwg corpus curator-status                          # ranked table + orphan section to stdout
aiwg corpus curator-status --out indices/curators.md
```

Reports, per PROF-S: inducted-ref count, avg GRADE, return-to score, signal
quality, revisit cadence, and overdue days (revisit-cadence vs last-harvested,
via the shared staleness helper). The **Discovery orphans** section lists
sidecars whose `discovery.curator-id` is set but the named curator is absent or
is missing that REF in its `corpus-refs` (SOURCE-TRACKING §3 — the check fires
only when curator-id is set).

## Triggers

- "which curators have the best yield?"
