The Product Catalogue contains:

• a full description of the instrument payoffs

• ORE pricing engine XML parametrization

The Methodology documentation contains descriptions of the analytics calculations:

• Risk Factor Evolution
• Exposure Simulation (including using AMC)
• XVA
• Sensitivity/Par-Sensitivity Analysis
