When auto designers speak of a platform (lambda, kappa), what all is that? What goes into a "platform?"

I realize a platform allows for multiple cars to be built off the same platform design, but I don't get what goes into a platform.
For instance, GM's Kappa platform is degined to be used in several applications and differing lenghts. But if something as basic as length can be altered, what components or specifications comprise a platform? Hopefully that clarifies my question. |
