Come to think of it, it might have been a “diddle scope” (I’m not a native speaker).

For finance applications (risk) the whole concept works quite well, doesn’t it - combining the natural advantages of code and Excel.

It was indeed "diddle," not "twiddle." At BAML, it's a "tweak." Beacon Platform is another implementation by the same team (but with support for the public cloud, and many more advanced features, I believe, including tighter web integration). I think it uses the terminology "bind."
