TechnicalRegister
Someone who lacks the top job themselves but effectively decides who gets it.
He'll never be CEO, but as the board's kingmaker, no candidate advances without his nod.
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.
