1. A method to customize operation of a feature, comprising:
inputting dynamic data into an algorithm of the feature;
processing, by operation of the feature, the dynamic data using a baseline configuration of parameters controlling aspects of the algorithm of the feature, to determine a first set of feature data, wherein the first set of feature data is first output data from the feature and is based in part on the baseline configuration of parameters, and wherein the baseline configuration of parameters is determined by use of a first configuration key;
sending the first set of feature data to a first data receiver;
processing the baseline configuration of parameters according to a modified configuration of parameters to determine a second set of parameters, wherein the modified configuration of parameters is indicated by a second configuration key;
processing, by operation of the feature, the dynamic data using the second set of parameters to control the aspects of the algorithm of the feature, to determine a second set of feature data, wherein the second set of feature data is second output data from the feature and is based in part on the modified configuration of parameters, and wherein the modified configuration of parameters is determined by use of the second configuration key; and
sending the second set of feature data to a second data receiver, wherein the first data receiver and the second data receiver are different, and wherein the first set of feature data and the second set of feature data are different.
