I was thinking of tools in the sense of software developed by Analytics for use by the EE teams when they measure the effectiveness of their work or look for new opportunities. EEVS appears to be a good example of what I had in mind as a tool. Your Snuggle project is something I would consider to be more like a feature because it is intended for use by end users.
In other words, "tools" are used by devs and PMs to develop and evaluate their products and opportunities for end-user engagement, and "features" are used by end users. That is my arbitrary way of differentiating types of software. Can you think of better terminology?
