I'm still lost.
You've described a black box with some sample input ("Ski") and some
corrisponding sample output (PT=..., BT=..., NT=..., RT=....) -- but you
haven't explained what you want to do with tht black box. Assuming such a
black box existed in solr what are you expecting/hoping to do with it?
how would such a black box modify solr's user experience? what is your
goal?
Smells like an XY Problem...

Your question appears to be an "XY Problem" ... that is: you are dealing
with "X", you are assuming "Y" will help you, and you are asking about "Y"
without giving more details about the "X" so that we can understand the
full issue. Perhaps the best solution doesn't involve "Y" at all?
