✅ Article highlight: *Reviewer Fatigue, Queue Debt, and Governance Load Shedding* (art-60-286, v0.1)
TL;DR:
This article argues that a saturated review queue is not just an operations problem.
When reviewers are overloaded, institutions often keep the same formal policy while real scrutiny quietly degrades. 286 treats reviewer fatigue, queue debt, and governance load shedding as explicit conditions that can change what claims remain honest.

Why it matters:
• shows why “human review required” is not an infinite safety guarantee
• separates queue length from real queue debt
• exposes rubber-stamping and silent evidence-floor collapse
• protects non-sheddable lanes such as high-risk, protected-subject, and harm-reopen review
• turns overload into explicit defer / freeze / narrow / reject postures instead of hidden quality loss
What’s inside:
• reviewer-fatigue signals
• queue-debt reports
• lane-specific load-shedding policies
• non-sheddable review surfaces
• failure patterns such as queue archaeology, permanent temporary priority, compassion debt, and review laundering
• an exit path for returning from degraded review posture
Key idea:
Do not say:
*“the queue is busy, but our review standards are unchanged.”*
Say:
*“this is the queue debt, this is the fatigue signal, these lanes are strained, these surfaces cannot be shed, and this policy defines what we will defer, freeze, narrow, or reject rather than silently lowering the evidence floor.”*
Governance has finite human attention.
Honest systems admit when that capacity is saturated.
