Thanks. Maybe I missed the point, but isn't the goal to define the HD ratio
that is equivalent to the historical allocation rates? As I recall the .96
value was a rough fit from some simple calculations, so there is nothing
that ties us to that. I realize it is probably a trial and error effort, but
now that the models are built it should just be processing time to run
through some numbers until the rate aligns.
