English term or phrase: critical few
Colegas,
Encontrei esta expressão nest contexto:
:...such a rule is the Pareto rule or Rule of Critical Few (sometimes called the 80/20 rule)”.
Eu pensei usar “poucos importantes” mas não estou certo e estimaria uma ajuda.

princípio de Pareto ou regra 80:20


Explanation:
A conhecida "regra 80:20", inspirada no trabalho de Vilfredo Pareto (1848-1923).
Princípio de Pareto - O nome vem de Vilfredo Pareto, economista e sociólogo do século XIX. O Princípio de Pareto também é conhecido como "regra do 80:20". Ele diz que 80% da receita de uma empresa vêm de 20% de seus clientes. Em termos práticos, no entanto, talvez 90% da receita venha de 5% dos clientes, ou 60% venha de 30% dos clientes, dependendo do Desvio de Valor dos clientes da empresa.

\"nas tarefas mais cruciais/mais importantes em oposição a triviais, irrelevantes\".
Take Advantage of the 80-20 Rule
Your next step is to categorize your time to figure out whether you spend most of your time on trivial tasks-the \"irrelevant many\"-or on the important biggies-the \"critical few.\" The Pareto principle, better known as the 80-20 rule, maintains that 80 percent of the important results are accomplished in 20 percent of the time. This phenomenon exists because work falls into two major categories, the critical few and the irrelevant many.
