English term or phrase: escalatee

Leider habe ich nur dieses eine Wort und keinen weiteren Zusammenhang. Mir fehlt ein griffiger deutscher Begriff. Mir fallen leider nur irgendwelche gestelzten Beschreibungen ein, etwa "ein von einer Eskalation betroffener".

Vielen Dank im Voraus.

Empfänger maybe

Explanation:
Ohne Kontext natürlich unmöglich. Da die Phrase "to escalate information" aber immer beliebter wird, ist der "escalatee" eventuell jene Person, die Informationen bekommt.

nächst höhere Stelle, die informiert wurde

Explanation:
"Empfänger" erscheint mir im Zusammenhang mit "escalation" zu vage. Es geht nicht um irgendeinen Empfänger, sondern um den durch die Organisation vorgeschriebene nächst höhere Stelle, die in bestimmten Situationen informiert werden muss und eine Entscheidung zu treffen hat, die auf der unteren Ebene - demjenigen, der "escalates" - nicht getroffen werden darf.
