A better term would be "technocratic" for what you described,

A technocratic oligarchy

Well I tend to prefer using words in their modern context rather than strictly referring to etymology but that's a valid approach too, so yeah you could say that sans-shrug

You can keep being wrong if you want to not understand the root olig- but that's on you i guess, I tried. Monarchy is when one dude, triarchy is when three, oligarchy is when the guy is rich and slavic, you got it. An oligomer is when the molecular units come from the kremlin. I too prefer to have language and the meaning of words dictated by the Atlantic council
