Profitology
The art of manipulating one person to do the work of two people, while receiving the same pay as one.
One example of profitology; A company decides to layoff employees to improve productivity. Therefore, one employee is laid off, and their workload is added to a remaining employees workload. The remaining employee now works twice as hard, for the same pay. This allows the employer to gain more profits, and pay themselves even larger bonuses.

Privatology
The study of private initiative, private enterprise, and the ideology of privatization using Sovietological methods. Privatology examines how “private” is constructed as superior to “public” regardless of outcomes, how private power is made invisible while public power is scrutinized, and how the rhetoric of entrepreneurship masks rent‑seeking and monopoly. It studies the role of private foundations, consultancies, and lobbying firms as the hidden infrastructure of policy‑making. Privatology reveals that the “private sector” is as opaque, hierarchical, and self‑serving as any state bureaucracy.
Example: “Her privatology of charter schools showed that ‘parental choice’ rhetoric disguised a system of cherry‑picking students, union‑busting, and public subsidy for private profit—privatization as ideology, not evidence.”

Whale
In sales terms, a whale is a prospect that is significantly larger than an organization’s average customer.
Whales are large and extremely difficult to close. Due to their immense size, they are highly sought-after.
A whale is typically identified at first by a whale hunter on the sales team, but often requires cross-discipline participation in order to close; this includes assistance from operations, engineering, creative, client success, and business development teams.
