“Cruxy” is a useful term to have in my vocabulary. I use it relatively loosely to refer to the type of thing I look for in a double crux. A consideration is more “cruxy” if it’s closer to a but-for support for a proposition. Interestingly (mildly) this is very similar to the definition of “crucial,” and in fact the etymologies are the same.
