Could you build this?

Partial The dashboard UI and charts are straightforward web development, but calculating Merton structural default probabilities requires financial data pipelines (SEC EDGAR, market cap/equity volatility) and solving non-linear option pricing models.

What it would actually take: The system requires a Python backend with automated scrapers/parsers for SEC 10-K/10-Q filings and market equity price/volatility feeds. The hard component is implementing numerical solvers for the Merton model equations to estimate asset value and asset volatility from equity observables. Building this reliably requires quantitative finance domain expertise and robust financial data ingestion pipelines.
