A system and method are presented for optimizing choices of control parameters. A method includes collecting demand sequences each associated with a resource managed by a technology platform; processing a demand sequence for a resource to calculate an optimized control parameter (CP) value set to manage an automated process within the technology platform, wherein calculating includes: processing the demand sequence with an advanced bootstrap process to generate a collection of bootstrapped demand sequences; processing the bootstrapped demand sequences with a performance prediction process that models the automated process to predict a performance metric for an initially selected CP value set; identifying a neighborhood of CP value sets that includes neighbors and the initially selected CP value set; predicting the performance metric for each neighbor with the performance prediction process; and identifying from the neighborhood of CP value sets the optimized CP value set that provides a best performance metric.
