In one embodiment, a computer-implemented method includes maintaining a feature repository that includes one or more current feature descriptors describing one or more current features currently incorporated into a computer system. A new feature descriptor is read describing a new feature. By a computer processor, the new feature descriptor is evaluated with respect to a computer system. The evaluating includes comparing the new feature descriptor to the one or more current feature descriptors. Exploitation data is generated based on the evaluating, where the exploitation data describes a potential use of the new feature on the computer system. The exploitation data is returned to a user.
