At 7:55 AM, he emailed Helena the results. He attached a clean sheet with one button: “Calculate Vol.” He didn’t tell her about the PDF. He didn’t mention the cold coffee or the 11:47 PM panic.

He had spent two hours trying to use Excel’s Goal Seek. It was slow, clunky, and kept crashing when the volatility spiked above 200%. He needed speed. He needed precision. He needed the Newton Raphson method.

He minimized Excel and opened his downloads folder. Scrolling past a dozen forgotten files, he found it: How To Code the Newton Raphson Method in Excel VBA.pdf .
