Re-weight to supplied targets — sensitivity only

Re-weight the paths to selected target moments by minimum relative entropy (weighted Monte Carlo), then re-run the teaching estimate. Moment matching does not establish an arbitrage-free risk-neutral measure or a calibrated price.

Set a target above to re-weight.

The full framework — how selected covenant rights map into contingent payoffs, why the builder basket is an upper bound, and how to read the residual diagnostic — is Part VII of the LevFin Book. This engine produces a teaching estimate: option-style arithmetic on the paths you supply, not a calibrated risk-neutral price.
