Perhaps you could start with a rundown of all the conditions which define a "Well" temperament. Characteristics of thirds...cents wide or narrow Characteristics of fifths...cents wide or narrow Relationship of D to other notes... Usable triads... Tonic center, with fifth sizes going both ways on circle. ...etc. Maybe with "well" defined, then "Reverse well(sic)" will have some meaning. i.e. Put your money where your mouth is, or those in the great centrist/undecided ranks may decide that you are bankrupt.
