For me, setting up a program to allow the user to easily follow the company standards is simply that, Standards Configuration (also been called CAD Standards Customization).  Adding code to a program however taking it beyond its out of the box ability via its API, is called Tools Development.  The additional Tools I develop are not intended to replace the CAD designer but enhance the user's toolbox of commands to do their work with.  So we call it Inventor Tools (plus the company's abbreviations).

 

I tend to add the company's abbreviations to ensure the code and folders are not 'default' to Autodesk, and therefore easily overwritten during an update.
