parameterizes
Defines adjustable inputs
Parameterizes means to express or define something in terms of parameters—variables that shape how a system behaves.
In mathematics and computing, to parameterize a curve or function is to describe it using one or more independent variables: The equation parameterizes the circle using angle theta.
More broadly, software that parameterizes a process allows users to adjust its behavior through settings rather than changing the underlying code.
