showrunner
This term is used in the
US and Canada to refer to
the person who has cre-
ative and management
responsibility for a tele-
vision programme. The
“showrunner” also makes
casting decisions: “Netflix
showrunners say they will
stop working in Georgia as
a result of the state’s strict
anti-abortion laws.”

verb “scale up” means to
“make something larger”
or to “increase according
to a fixed ratio”. As a noun,
this term is common in the

start-up’.”
