Fouls add 5 points to the other Alliance's score. Thus all fouls would need to be reviewable. Both called and uncalled fouls.

May not be as difficult as you think. When a Foul (or any other violation) is called, the Ref points at the offense, and waives the flag indicating the color of the Alliance causing the foul. If the flag is waived, a foul is called. If a flag is not waived (and you don't see the Ref doing anything at the panel), the no foul has been called. The tricky part is if multiple fouls were called at the same time (robot, with a boulder, crossing from the NZ to the Opponent's SP). Then you have to watch the score to see how many fouls were called. The score portion of the score board is on each video, isn't it? Time stamping is important, and that is one way to get the time stamp.
Very few things are "judgement call". It either happened, or it didn't. Either the robot broke contact with the Sally Port, or it didn't. The video may not provide convincing evidence to overturn the call.
Non-reviewable judgement call would be: Robot is likely to damage the field, so the Head Ref disabled it, if something is Strategic, or if it rises to the level of "repeated". Those are forward looking/intent judgement calls that are made real-time, so should not be reviewable.
So, what do you do if a Robot, upon review, is determined to have contacted something outside of the Field (G3), and it was not originally called by the Ref? That violation results in a Disabled. It is not a judgement call. Do you then review the rest of the match to back out all points scored by that robot?
