The amount of time a task can be delayed without affecting the project's finish date.
That task has five days of float, so I'm comfortable letting it slip while we firefight the critical path.
Rarity runs from 0 (a word everyone knows) to 100 (almost never seen outside specialist or literary writing). Level is the word's real difficulty on the CEFR scale, from A1 to C2.
